1 Objectives: (Week-7: Fourier Transform: MATLAB) (LNMIIT, Jaipur)

This document provides instructions for an ECE lab on computing the Fourier transform of aperiodic signals using MATLAB. Students are asked to take the Fourier transform of two signals: an exponentially decaying function between 0 and 4 seconds with sampling interval 1/64 seconds, and the same signal between 0 and 8 seconds with sampling interval 1/32 seconds. They are to plot the magnitude and phase spectra of each and compare the results, explaining any differences.

1. To compute and plot the Fourier spectra for the aperiodic signals.
2 In-Lab Exercises
Exercise 1 The Fourier transform (FT) of an aperiodic continuous-time signal x(t) is given by
X() =

x(t) e

In numerical computations, the data must be nite. Let us consider the signal x(t) of nite duration
T
