EXPERIMENT NO: 09

The Continuous Time Fourier Transform

Aim: Find the Fourier Transform of a continuous aperiodic signal and plot its magnitude
and phase spectrum.
Theory: Write about continuous time Fourier transform and Magnitude and Phase
spectrum.
Problem 1:
Write Scilab code to plot the magnitude and phase spectrum of the signal, x(t) =e
-at
u(t),
a>0
