Fourier Transform deduce the following transform pair

In summary, to solve for cos(πx) / π(x-.5) having a transform of e^(-iπs)*Π(s), you can use the similarity theorem and the shift theorem. The shift theorem will give you e^(-iπs) due to the 1/2 in the impulse function, while the similarity theorem will give you a factor of 1/π. You can also use the fact that ##\sin(\pi x - \frac{\pi}{2}) = -\cos(\pi x)## to obtain the rect(s) term in the transform.

Homework Statement


I'm supposed to be using the similarity theorem and the shift theorem to solve:

cos(πx) / π(x-.5) has transform e^(-iπs)*Π(s)

Homework Equations


similarity theorem f(ax) has transform (1/a)F(s/a)
shift theorem f(x-a) has transform e^(-i2πas)F(s)

The Attempt at a Solution


I don't know. cos(πx) has the impulse pair transform and the impulse pair function has cos(πs) transform.
the only term that I can get is that the shift theorem will give me a e^(-iπs) because the 1/2 in the impulse function. I don't understand how to get the rect(s) term in the transform.

FAQ: Fourier Transform deduce the following transform pair

What is Fourier Transform?

Fourier Transform is a mathematical operation that decomposes a signal into its individual frequency components. It is used to analyze signals in the time domain and convert them into the frequency domain.

What is the purpose of Fourier Transform?

The purpose of Fourier Transform is to analyze signals and understand their frequency content. It is used in various fields such as signal processing, image processing, and data compression.

What is a transform pair?

A transform pair is a pair of mathematical functions that are related by a Fourier Transform. One function is the original signal in the time domain, and the other is its representation in the frequency domain.

How do you deduce a transform pair?

A transform pair can be deduced by taking the Fourier Transform of the original signal and its inverse Fourier Transform. The resulting functions will form the transform pair.

What are the applications of Fourier Transform?

Fourier Transform has numerous applications in various fields such as audio and video processing, medical imaging, and telecommunications. It is also used in solving differential equations and finding solutions to various physical problems.
