SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the derivation of the Fourier Transform for the function x(t) = e^(j*w0*t), where w0 is a constant. The relationship z(t) = A[cos(w0t) + i sin(w0t)] is established, illustrating the connection between the complex variable z(t) and the function x(t). The differential equation d²x/dt² + w0² x = 0 is solved, confirming that the solution is x = A e^(i w0 t), representing a rotating unit-amplitude vector in the complex plane.

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
