Practice Problem on Discrete-time Fourier transform computation

Compute the discrete-time Fourier transform of the following signal:

$ x[n]= u[n+2]-u[n-1] $

See these Signal Definitions if you do not know what is the step function "u[n]".

(Write enough intermediate steps to fully justify your answer.)

Answer 1

$ x[n] = u[n+2]-u[n-1] $.

$ X_(\omega) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{+\infty} x[n] e^{-j\omega n} $

$ = \sum_{n=-2}^{0} x[n] e^{-j\omega n} $

$ = 1+ e^{j\omega} + e^{2j\omega} $

$ X_{2\pi}(\omega) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{+\infty} x[n] e^{-j\omega n} $

$ = \sum_{n=-2}^{0} x[n] e^{-j\omega n} $

$ = e^{2j\omega} + e^{j\omega} + 1 $

Answer 3
