Compute the Fourier transform of the following CT signal using the integral formula:

$ \,x(t)=e^{-5(t+3)}u(t-1) + e^{-j\pi t}\delta(t-\frac{\pi}{2})\, $


Answer

$ \,\mathcal{X}(\omega)=\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}x(t)e^{-j\omega t}\,dt\, $

$ \,\mathcal{X}(\omega)=\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}e^{-5(t+3)}u(t-1)e^{-j\omega t}\,dt + \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}e^{-j\pi t}\delta(t-\frac{\pi}{2})e^{-j\omega t}\,dt\, $

$ \,\mathcal{X}(\omega)=\int_{1}^{+\infty}e^{-5t}e^{-15}e^{-j\omega t}\,dt + \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}\delta(t-\frac{\pi}{2})e^{-j(\omega +\pi)t}\,dt\, $

$ \,\mathcal{X}(\omega)=e^{-15}\int_{1}^{+\infty}e^{-(j\omega +5)t}\,dt + e^{-j(\omega +\pi)\frac{\pi}{2}}\, $
