Table of Fourier Transforms

Definition of Fourier Transforms


If f(t) is a function of the real variable t, then the Fourier transform F(ω) of f is given by the integral
F(ω) = -∞+∞ e - j ω t f(t) dt

where j = √(-1), the imaginary unit.
In what follows, u(t) is the unit step function defined by
u(t) = 1 for t ≥ 0 and u(t) = 0 for t < 0. (see figure below).
