Homework Statement


F{f(t)} is the Fourier transform of f(t) and L{f(t)} is the Laplace transform of f(t)

why F{f(t)} = L{f(t)} where s = jw in L{f(t)}


The Attempt at a Solution


I suppose the definition of F{f(t)} is

∫[f(t)e^-jwt]dt

where the lower integral limit is -∞ and higher intergral limit is +∞.

And I suppose the definition of L{f(t)} is

∫[f(t)e^-st]dt

where the lower integral limit is -∞ and higher integral limit is +∞.(that is bilateral Laplace transform)

and i think it is obviously to say F{f(t)} = L{f(t)} where s = jw in L{f(t)} just by substitute s = jw in ∫[f(t)e^-st]dt.

My solution is so simple that I can't believe it's a problem assigned by my professor!
Some guy please tell me if I am correct or not, and where it is.

Any reference or advise will be appreciated.

thanks in advance.

Yes you are correct, as long as the imaginary axis is inside the region of convergence.

3x~ I am more confident~
