Practice Question on Computing the Fourier Transform of a Continuous-time Signal
Compute the Fourier transform of the signal
$ x(t) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 1, & \text{ for } -5\leq t \leq 5,\\ 0, & \text{ for } 5< |t| \leq 10, \end{array} \right. \ $
x(t) periodic with period 20.

Answer 1
For a square wave,
$ a_k=\frac{sin(k\omega_0 T_1)}{\pi k} $
In this case,
$ \omega_0=\frac{2\pi}{20}=\frac{\pi}{10} \mbox{ and } T_1 = 5 $
Therefore
$ \chi(\omega)=\sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty}2\pi\frac{sin(k\frac{\pi}{10} 5)}{\pi k}\delta(\omega-k\frac{\pi}{10})=\sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty}2\frac{sin(k\frac{\pi}{2})}{ k}\delta(\omega-k\frac{\pi}{10}) $

TA's comments: Good Job. You may use \sin to produce a $ \sin $.
