FOURIER TRANSFORM ASSIGNMENT

1. Obtain the Fourier transform for the following signals:

a) 𝑓(𝑡) = 3𝛿(𝑡) + 𝑒 4𝑡 𝑢(−𝑡)

b) 𝑓(𝑡) = 5 + 𝑒 −2𝑡 cos(4𝑡) 𝑢(𝑡)

2. Let x(t)=10 sin(t). Find the Fourier transform of:

a) x(t)

b) x(t-2)

c) x(2t-1) (Hint: apply time shifting first then time scaling)

3. Discuss the main differences between Fourier Series and Fourier Transform in terms of
input signals and output spectra.
