Anyone know about Fourier Transforms?

If you have a good about of knowledge about these, PM me, I need a little help with a few.

depends how complicated they are. You need help with integrals and such, or just basic concepts of it?

I wasn't aware that there was a Transformer name Fourier, but I bet he's very perioidic

Let me give an example

I know that the inverse fourier transform of 1/(jw+5) is e^-5t

but how would I do 1/(jw+5)^2?

I can help, maybe. I'm a Mechanical engineer, but I'm taking some elec classes, one of which involved FT's. I've got a good grasp of them, but it is possible whatever you have is beyond me.

Prime95's Lucas-Lehmer tests are FFT's. Go to this forum and ask. It might take a while to get an answer, but there are a lot of specialists there.

Have any idea on how to go about the one I posted?

Yeah, consider differentiation in w.

Have you tried reading the book?

damn....there are rules for when you square something like that, but I don't have my EE books with me. They are at work. But you should have a table of properties somewhere for FFTs. It will tell you what to do to the inverse transform

I've been looking, maybe I will find it.

EDITED because i am just frustrated

yes, that table of property is in every network analysis book

And shutup Ready

I guess that says alot about Prudue engineering

PurdueRy, what book are you using?

Oppenheim's Signals and systems

Money.

Take a look at page 321, right before example 4.20

Edit: Assuming of course you have the 2nd edition.

Make sure you understand how they got that result. Or I guess you could just memorize it, lol.

Good luck.

Anything else, just ask.

oh trust me, I know I need to understand it.

While I have someone here with experience, got any clues about:

((jw+2)(jw+5))/(jw-1)

Purdue is an excellent school. I always hope they lose in basketball, but they're a very good engineering school.

I'm pretty sure this is an identity that you can get from the integral relation in a pretty straight forward fashion. From memory it'll have a form like f(t)=t*exp(-a*t); give me a second to remember how to do this

You differentiate the analysis equation with respect to w to get that result.

Not sure about that one. Let me try it out.
