Question: What is the inverse Fourier transform for ( j ) n X 1 ( j ) X 2* ( j ) ?

Solution:
Let x(t ) and X ( j ) be Fourier Transform pairs. So: x(t ) X ( j )
By time reversal property [1]: x(t ) X ( j)
By complex conjugation property [1]: x* (t ) X * ( j )
For real-valued signal we have: x(t ) x* (t ) .
Hence we have X ( j ) X * ( j ) or X * ( j ) X ( j ) .
Thus for any real signal x(t ) , x(t ) X * ( j ) .
Using the convolution theorem [1]:

X1 ( j) X 2* ( j) x1 (t ) x2 (t )
Finally using the time-derivative property [1]:

( j ) n X 1 ( j ) X 2* ( j ) (1) n

dn
[ x1 (t ) x2 (t )]
dt n
