Homework Statement



I'd like to prove a F/T pair and to confim if they are correct.

s(t) = A Sin[w0 t] * rect[t/T - T/2] ... (1)

it's Fourier transform is

S(f) = exp(-j w T)*T/2*A* {Sinc[(w+w0)T/2/Pi] + Sinc[(w-w0)T/2/Pi]} ...(2)

where rect is rectangular function

Homework Equations



I can prove rect[t/T] -> T Sinc[Pi f T]

The Attempt at a Solution



I tried to use mathematica, but it didn't give me as good results as (2)

Somebody can prove it?

You know what the FT of rect and sin(wt) is. Use convolution theorem to get the FT of rect*sin.
 
Hi, thanks chistianjb. I was going to using convolution, but seems too much maths involved. Because rectangular has only value within a range, this will simplfy the integration lots.

I worked out the range of t is between (T+T^2)/2 and (T^2-T)/2, am I right?

sb can try to integrate[Sin[w0 t], {t, (T+T^2)/2, (T^2-T)/2}]?
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
