AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving the Fourier Transform of the function x(t) = e^(j*w0*t), where w0 is a constant. It highlights the relationship between x(t) and the complex variable z(t) = A[cos(w0t) + i sin(w0t], emphasizing the use of Euler's formula. The differential equation d²x/dt² + w0²x = 0 is presented, with its solution given as x = A e^(i w0 t), representing a rotating unit-amplitude vector in the complex plane. The derivation illustrates how complex exponentials can represent oscillatory functions effectively. This foundational understanding of Fourier Transforms is crucial for analyzing signals in various applications.

Can someone please give a concise and complete derivation of the following Fourier Transform:

x(t) = e^(j*w0*t) (w0 is a constant)

Please explain all parts. Thank you very much!

Consider the relation

z(t) = A[cos(w0t) + i sin(w0t)] in the complex plane

Where z(t) is a complex variable z(t) = x(t) + i y(t)

For the differential equation d2x/dt2 + w02 x = 0
the solution is x = A ei w0 t

where ei w0 t as a rotating unit-amplitude vector in the complex plane and i = sqrt(-1):

z(t) = A ei w0 t

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
