Example 1
– Determine the Fourier transform of the function f(t) = exp(- t), for t
>0, and f(t) = 0, for t<0.
The continuous spectrum, F(ω), is calculated with the integral:

This result can be rationalized by multiplying numerator and denominator by
the conjugate of the denominator, namely, 1-iω. The result is now:
