It is continuous-time Fourier transform, because it deals with

continuous-time signals.

Properties of Fourier Transform (revisited)
Fourier transform of even signals (x(t)=x(-t)) is real; FT of non-even
signals is complex.
Linearity:
If f (t) F ( ) and g(t) G( )
then af (t) + bg (t) aF( ) + bG ( )

Time shifting:
If f (t) F( )
then f (t-t0) exp(-j t0) F( )

Time scaling:
If f (t) F( )
then f (at) (1/|a|)F( /a)
Properties of Fourier Transform (revisited)
Frequency shifting (modulation)
If f (t)
F( )
then cos( 0 t) f (t) ½ [F( - 0) + F( + 0)]

Differentiation in time domain:

If f (t) F( )

then df (t)
j F( )
dt

Differentiation in frequency domain:

If f (t) F( )

dF ( )
then ( jt ) f (t )
d
Properties of Fourier Transform (revisited)
Time reversal
If f (t) F( )
then f (-t) F (- )

Duality:
If f (t) F( )
then F (t) 2 f (- )
Fourier Transform (Problems)

Example: Find Fourier transform of x(t) = (t-2) ( t -2)

Using time shifting property,

Hence X( ) = cos(2 ) j sin( 2 )

Amplitude = [cos(2 )2 + sin(2 )2] ½ = 1 4

Fourier Transform (Problems)

Problem 1: Find Fourier transform of x(t) = exp(-at)u(t)

Problem 2: Find Fourier transform of x(t) = exp(-a|t|)
Problem 3: Find Fourier transform of x(t) = u(t) u(t-4)
Problem 4 : Find inverse Fourier transform of
X( ) = [ ( + 0) + ( - 0)]
Continuous-time, Discrete-time and
Digital Signals
A continuous-time (CT) signal is defined for every instant of time and
at each instant, it may take a value from a set of infinite values.
A discrete-time signal is defined at specific instants of time, uniformly
apart, but it may take any value from a set of infinite values. The time-
spacing between the consecutive instants is called sampling period. It
is the sampled version of CT signal.
Digital signal is the quantized version of the discrete-time signal. It is
defined at specific instants of time and it may take a value from a set
of finite values.
