View Full Version : inverse Fourier for pulse shaping filter

This is probably a very basic question, but how do i derive the
inverse Fourier transform for the following

G(f) = [1+T abs(f) ( sinc(2 f T) - 1)] / sinc(f T), for abs(f) <= 1/T

and zero elsewhere.

If i plug this into the IFT formula i end up with

1/T
g(t) = int G(f) e^j2pi f t df
-1/T

and when i substitute for G(f) above i can take out the first and
second terms but where do i go from there?

1/T
g(t) = 1+T * int abs(f) ( sinc(2 f T) - 1)] / sinc(f T)
-1/T

Can i simplify the equation somehow? Thanks for any help.

you're a little sloppy with unmatched parenths or brackets.

bust the integral into two, one from -1/T to 0 (where |f| = -f) and
another from 0 to +1/T (where |f| = f). you still have other ickies
to worry about.
