1

b) πδ(ω) + 1

jω

c) πδ(ω) – jω
1

d) δ(ω) + 1

jω

View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: We know that sgn(t) = 2u(t) – 1.
u(t) = 1

2
[sgn(t)+1] Its Fourier transform is F[u(t)] = 1

2
F[sgn(t)] + 1

2
F[1]
As the Fourier transforms F[1] = 2πδ(ω) and [sgn(t)] = 2

jω
, hence
F[u(t)] = πδ(ω) + 1
.
jω
