Fourier Transform of a Signal : Scaling and Time-Shift Property

Not what you're looking for?

Ask Custom Question

Use tables and the scaling and time-shift property to find the Fourier transform of the signal below (which is zero for all other values of t than those shown, that is, it's not periodic)

Plot the magnitude of the spectrum of this signal.

Hint: Find the transform of the pulse centered around t=0, then use the time-shift property of the Fourier transform to get the transform of the pulse between 2 and 3. The result is the sum of these two responses by the linearity of the Fourier Transform.
