Show g(t) = Ay(Bt) using FT properties
Short answer
Using time-scaling and convolution, G(jω) = (1/9)Y(jω/3) = (1/3)ℱ{y(3t)} so g(t) = (1/3)y(3t). Thus A = 1/3, B = 3.
Given the relationship y(t) = x(t)*h(t) and g(t) = x(3t)*h(3t) and given that x(t) has the Fourier transform X(jω) and h(t) has Fourier transform H(jω), use Fourier transform properties to show that g(t) has the form g(t) = Ay(Bt). Determine the values of A and B.
Given: , so by the convolution property .
Time-scaling property: .
Step 1: transforms of and .
Step 2: transform of . Convolution becomes multiplication:
Step 3: compare with the transform of .
So
Taking the inverse transform:
Answer: with and .
Time-domain check:
Both methods agree. In general, .
