328 The Continuous-Time Fourier Transform Chap.
4.6 TABLES OF FOURIER PROPERTIES AND OF BASIC FOURIER TRANSFORM PAIRS
In the preceding sections and in the problems at the end of the chapter, we have consid-
ered some of the important properties of the Fourier transform. These are summarized in
Table 4.1, in which we have also indicated the section of this chapter in which each prop-
erty has been discussed.
In Table 4.2, we have assembled a list of many of the basic and important Fourier
transform pairs. We will encounter many of these repeatedly as we apply the tools of
