 3. Conjugation and conjugation symmetry

We can also prove that

•if x(t) is both real and even, then X( jw) will
also be real and even.
•if x(t) is both real and odd, then X( jw) will
also be purely imaginary and odd.

 6. Duality Property

There is a high degree of symmetry in Forward

And Inverse Fourier transform equation
1  
 X ( jw )   x(t )e jwt dt
jwt
x(t )  X ( jw )e dw
2  

Forward and inverse FT equations are identical except

the factor 2 and different sign in w of exponential
function
