Tutorial Questions on Fourier Transform


Definition of rect(t/T):
The rectangular function is defined as:

rect(t/T) = 1, for |t| ≤ T/2


rect(t/T) = 0, otherwise

It represents a pulse of duration T centered at t = 0.

Definition of sinc(t):
The sinc function is a mathematical function widely used in signal processing and Fourier
analysis. It is defined as:

sinc(t) = sin(πt) / (πt), for t ≠ 0


sinc(0) = 1

Alternatively, in some engineering contexts, it is defined without the π term as:

sinc(t) = sin(t) / t, for t ≠ 0


sinc(0) = 1

The version used depends on the convention adopted in the Fourier Transform
formulation.

7. Using the frequency-shifting property, find the Fourier Transform of x(t) = e^(j4t) ⋅
rect(t/2).

8. If x₁(t) = e^(−t)u(t) and x₂(t) = e^(−2t)u(t), find the Fourier Transform of their
convolution x₁(t) * x₂(t).

9. Find the energy of the signal x(t) = e^(−2|t|) using Parseval’s theorem.
