‘The resulting G(f) is shown in Fig. 3.234. This way of finding the Fourier transform can
bbe applied to functions g(0) made up of straight-line segments. The second derivative of
such a signal yields a sequence of impulses whose Fourier transform can be found by
inspection. This further suggests a numerical method of finding the Fourier transform of
an arbitrary signal g(0) by approximating the signal by straight-line segments.
For easy reference, several important properties of Fourier transform are summarized in
Table 3.2.
