Fourier transform and Heaviside function

168 Views Asked by At

I'm messing around with some manual computation of Fourier transforms, and I'm getting conflicting results. First of all though, just to make sure I'm seeing things the right way: the Heaviside function is used to limit the domain of a function in order to keep it in the $L^1$ space - thus making it transformable - right? For example, $e^{-x}$ isn't transformable in $R^n$ because it diverges for $x\rightarrow-\infty$, but $e^{-x}u(x)$ (with $u(x)$ being the Heaviside function) is lower bounded to $0$ which makes it F-transformable. Am I making sense, or am I being blasphemous?

That being said, I'm trying to find the transform of: $$x(t)=u(t-1)e^{-2t}+u(t)-u(t+2)$$

Assuming what I said earlier is correct, I did this: $$\hat x(\xi)=\int_{1}^{\infty}e^{-t(2+i\xi)}dt+\int_{0}^{\infty}e^{-i\xi t}dt-\int_{-2}^{\infty}e^{-i\xi t}dt$$ with the integration intervals shifted according to the 3 Heavisde functions, which returns $$\hat x(\xi)={e^{-2-i\xi} \over 2+i\xi}+{1 \over i\xi}-{e^{2i\xi}\over i\xi}$$ Now, my problem is that the result I am given is $$\hat x(\xi)={e^{-2-i\xi} \over 2+i\xi}-{2e^{i\xi}sin\xi \over \xi}$$

I see the similarities, but I think I might've missed something along the path. Thanks
