CTFT of some time-scaled and time-shifted sines
If x(t) = 10sin(t), then find (a) the CTFT of x(t), (b) the CTFT of x(2(t − 1)), and (c) the CTFT of x(2t − 1).
(a) In this example the cyclic frequency of the sinusoid is 1/2π and the radian frequency is 1.
Therefore the numbers will be simpler if we use the radian-frequency form of the CTFT.
Using the linearity property and looking up the transform of the general sine form,
sin(t) \xleftrightarrow{\mathcal{F}} jπ[δ(ω+1)-δ(ω-1)]
10sin(t) \xleftrightarrow{\mathcal{F}} j10π[δ(ω+1)-δ(ω-1)]
(b) From part (a), 10sin(t)\xleftrightarrow{\mathcal{F}}j10π[δ(ω+1)-δ(ω-1)]. Using the time scaling property,
10sin(2t) \xleftrightarrow{\mathcal{F}} j5π[δ(ω/2+1)-δ(ω/2-1)].
Then, using the time-shifting property,
10sin(2(t − 1))\xleftrightarrow{\mathcal{F}}j5π[δ(ω/2+1)-δ(ω/2-1)]e^{-jω}.
Then, using the scaling property of the impulse,
10sin(2(t − 1))\xleftrightarrow{\mathcal{F}}j10π[δ(ω+2)-δ(ω-2)]e^{-jω}or
10sin(2(t − 1))\xleftrightarrow{\mathcal{F}}j10π[δ(ω+2)e^{j2}-δ(ω-2)e^{-j2}](c) From part (a), 10sin(t)\xleftrightarrow{\mathcal{F}}j10π[δ(ω+1)-δ(ω-1)].
Applying the time-shifting property first
10sin(t-1)\xleftrightarrow{\mathcal{F}}j10π[δ(ω+1)-δ(ω-1)]e^{-jω}.
Then, applying the time-scaling property,
10sin(2t-1)\xleftrightarrow{\mathcal{F}}j5π[δ(ω/2+1)-δ(ω/2-1)]e^{-jω/2}Then, using the scaling property of the impulse,
10sin(2t-1)\xleftrightarrow{\mathcal{F}}j10π[δ(ω+2)-δ(ω-2)]e^{-jω/2}or
10sin(2t-1)\xleftrightarrow{\mathcal{F}}j10π[δ(ω+2)e^j-δ(ω-2)e^{-j}]
