Now we know that
$ x(t) $$ X(\omega) $

Now suppose the input signal was multiplied by a cosine wave then the fourier transform of the wave would look as follows

$ x(t)*cos(\frac{\pi t}{4}) $$ \frac{1}{2}[X(e^{j(\theta - \pi/4)}) + X(e^{j(\theta + \pi/4)}) ] $.

In short we are getting two side bands which look something like this
