Problem 1
(a) Compute the convolution of the following pair of signals x(t) and h(t) by calculating X(jw) and H(jw),
using the convolution property, and inverse transforming.
Solution
(a) We have
Y (jw) = X(jw)H(jw)
1 1
=[ ][ ]
1 + jw 1 − jw
1/2 1/2
= +
1 + jw 1 + jw
Taking the inverse Fourier transform, we obtain
1 −|t|
y(t) = e

(b) We know that
FT 2
e−|t| ←−→
1 + w2
Using the differentiation in frequency property, we have
FT d 2 4jw
te−|t| ←−→ j { 2
}=−
dw 1 + w (1 + w2 )2
The duality property states that if
FT
g(t) ←−→ G(jw)
then
FT
G(t) ←−→ 2πg(jw)
Now, since
FT 4jw
te−|t| ←−→ −
(1 + w2 )2
we may then sue the duality to write
4jt FT
− ←−→ 2πwe−|w|
(1 + t2 )2
Multiplying both sides by j, we obtain

Problem 2
Show that the three LTI systems with impulse responses
h1 (t) = u(t),
h2 (t) = −2δ(t) + 5e−2t u(t),
h3 (t) = 2te−t u(t)
Solution
We have
FT
x(t) = cos(t) ←−→ X(jw) = π[δ(w + 1) + δ(w − 1)]
Then for each LTI system,
(i) we have
FT 1
h1 (t) = u(t) ←−→ H1 (jw) = + πδ(w)
jw
Therefore,
π
Y (jw) = X(jw)H1 (jw) = [δ(w + 1) + δ(w − 1)]
j
Taking the inverse Fourier transform, we obtain
y(t) = sin(t)
(ii) We have
FT 5
h2 (t) = −2δ(t) + 5e−2t u(t) ←−→ H3 (jw) = −2 +
2 + jw
Therefore,
π
Y (jw) = X(jw)H2 (jw) = [δ(w + 1) + δ(w − 1)]
j
Taking the inverse Fourier transform, we obtain
y(t) = sin(t)
(iii) We have
FT 2
h3 (t) = 2te−t u(t) ←−→ H3 (jw) =
(1 + jw)2
Therefore,
π
Y (jw) = X(jw)H3 (jw) = [δ(w + 1) + δ(w − 1)]
j
Taking the inverse Fourier transform, we obtain
y(t) = sin(t)
