I need to use Parseval's theorem to calculate the following integral:
$$int_-infty^inftyleft |frac1-e^-iwtiw right |^2dt$$




I thought to find the transform of $$f(t) = frac1-e^-iwtiw$$ and then use Parseval.



I have problems finding the Fourier transform of f(t) using properties by knowing common transforms.



The definition used for the Fourier transform is:
$$hatf(w) = int_-infty^infty f(t) e^-iwtcdot dt$$

    It might be useful to note that $f(t) = frac1-e^-iwtiw = int_0^t e^-iwu , du$, so $f'(t) = e^-iwu$.

    Be careful, the $w$ in $f(t)$ is not the same $w$ in $hat f(w).$

  • Thank you! Shouldn't it be the integral of the exponential multiplied by the Heavyside function from -oo to t? If that's correct then I should find f(w)/(iw) to calculate the integral by Parseval right?

  • Perhaps I'm missing something, but the integrand is positive and periodic and integrating a positive, periodic function over all $mathbbR$ usually diverges.

Hint: I think the denominator should be $wt$ instead of $w$ as the integral would evaluate to $infty$ otherwise. Also,
$$frac1-e^-iwtiwt = e^-iwt/2frace^iwt/2-e^-iwt/2iwt = e^-iwt/2fracsin(wt/2)wt/2.$$
Consequently,
$$left|frac1-e^-iwtiwtright| = left|fracsin(wt/2)wt/2right|.$$

  • Yes that should be great but it's not iwt, its iw.

  • @Verónica In that case, as I also mentioned in the answer, the integral would evaluate to $infty$ as $sin^2(theta) = colorredfrac12-0.5cos(2theta)$.
