Since this Fourier transform is complex valued, to plot it as a function of 𝜔, we express 𝑋(𝜔)
in terms of its magnitude and phase:

Example 4.1: Find the FT for the signal

In this case 𝑋(𝜔) is real, therefore no phase spectrum needed.

Solution II: We can also solve it using FT Table and its properties

𝑒 −𝑎|𝑡| = 𝑒 −𝑎𝑡 𝑢(𝑡) + 𝑒 𝑎𝑡 𝑢(−𝑡)

From FT table 𝑒 −𝑎𝑡 𝑢(𝑡) ↔ 𝑎+𝑗𝜔

Using Time Reversal Property, find the FT of 𝑒 𝑎𝑡 𝑢(−𝑡)

1 1
𝑥(−𝑡) ↔ 𝑋(−𝜔) 𝑒 −𝑎𝑡 𝑢(𝑡) ↔ 𝑎+𝑗𝜔 𝑒 𝑎𝑡 𝑢(−𝑡) ↔ 𝑎−𝑗𝜔

Using the sampling property of the impulse function


𝑋(𝜔) = ∫ 𝛿(𝑡)𝑒 −𝑗𝜔𝑡 𝑑𝑡 = 𝑒 −𝑗𝜔(𝑡=0) = 1

In this case 𝑋(𝜔) is real, therefore no phase spectrum needed.

That is, the unit impulse bas a Fourier transform consisting of equal contributions at
frequencies. #

Example4.7: Find the Fourier transforms of the everlasting sinusoid cos 𝜔0 𝑡.

𝑥(𝑡) = cos 𝜔0 𝑡

1
Recall the Euler formula cos 𝜔0 𝑡 = 2 [𝑒 𝑗𝜔0𝑡 + 𝑒 −𝑗𝜔0𝑡 ]

1 ⟺ 2𝜋𝛿(𝜔)

Using Frequency shifting property

1𝑒 𝑗𝜔0𝑡 ⟺ 2𝜋𝛿(𝜔 − 𝜔0 )

1𝑒 −𝑗𝜔0𝑡 ⟺ 2𝜋𝛿(𝜔 + 𝜔0 )

Therefore,

1
cos 𝜔0 𝑡 ⟺ 2 [2𝜋𝛿(𝜔 − 𝜔0 ) + 2𝜋𝛿(𝜔 + 𝜔0 )]

cos 𝜔0 𝑡 ⟺ π[𝛿(𝜔 − 𝜔0 ) + 𝛿(𝜔 + 𝜔0 )]


The spectrum of cos 𝜔0 𝑡 consists of two impulses at 𝜔0 and −𝜔0 . The result also follows from
qualitative reasoning. An everlasting sinusoid cos 𝜔0 𝑡 can be synthesized by two everlasting
exponentials, 𝑒 𝑗𝜔0𝑡 and 𝑒 −𝑗𝜔0𝑡 . Therefore, the Fourier spectrum consists of only two
components of frequencies 𝜔0 and −𝜔0.

Using Frequency shifting property

1𝑒 𝑗𝜔0𝑡 ⟺ 2𝜋𝛿(𝜔 − 𝜔0 )

1𝑒 −𝑗𝜔0𝑡 ⟺ 2𝜋𝛿(𝜔 + 𝜔0 )

Therefore,

1
sin 𝜔0 𝑡 ⟺ 2𝑗 [2𝜋𝛿(𝜔 − 𝜔0 ) − 2𝜋𝛿(𝜔 + 𝜔0 )]
