Answer 1

(From an email written by a student.)

I am not sure what else could be band-limited other than the sinc function and pure-frequencies. Can you please give us some more examples?

Instructor's comment: One way to come up with new band-limited signals is to transform a known band-limited signal. For example, do you know a transformation that will simply change the amplitude of the Fourier transform? Or how about a transformation that would simply shift the frequencies of the Fourier transform? Another way to obtain new band-limited signal is to combine band-limited signals into a well chosen function. For example, what happens if you take a linear combination of band-limited signals? Or what if you multiply two band-limited signals? -pm
