– Linearity & time shifts
– Differentiation
– Convolution in the frequency domain
2. Understand why an ideal low pass filter cannot be
manufactured
Background
While the Fourier series/transform is very important for
representing a signal in the frequency domain, it is also
important for calculating a system’s response (convolution).
• A system’s transfer function is the Fourier transform of its
impulse response
• Fourier transform of a signal’s derivative is multiplication in
the frequency domain: jX(j)
• Convolution in the time domain is given by multiplication in
the frequency domain (similar idea to log transformations)
Proof
Consider the Fourier transform synthesis equation:
x(t ) 2 X ( j )e jt d
1
x(t t0 ) 1
2
X ( j )e j ( t t0 ) d
e
jt0

1
X ( j ) e jt d
X ( j ) e j 5 / 2 sin( / 2) 2 sin(3 / 2)
Matlab/Simulink
5. Verify the answer to Q1 using the Fourier transform toolbox in Matlab
6. Verify Q3 and Q4 in Simulink
7. Simulate a first order system in Simulink and input a series of
sinusoidal signals with different frequencies. How does the response
depend on the input frequency (S12)?

Lecture 12: Tutorial
This will be combined with the Laplace Tutorial L16
Interchanging the order of integration, we have
Y ( j ) x( ) h(t )e jt dt d
By the time shift property, the bracketed term is e-jH(j), so
j
Y ( j ) x ( ) e H ( j )d
H ( j ) x( )e j d
H ( j ) X ( j )
