Q#1 Fourier Transform GATE EC 2025 (Set 1) MCQ +1 mark -0.33 marks

Consider a continuous-time, real-valued signal  whose Fourier transform  exists.

Which one of the following statements is always TRUE?

Explanation:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hence, option (a) is correct.

Q#2 Fourier Transform GATE EC 2024 (Set 1) MCQ +2 marks -0.66 marks

Consider two continuous time signals x(t) and y(t) as shown below

 

If X(f) denotes the Fourier transform of x(t), then the Fourier transform of y(t) is__________.

Explanation:

Marks To All

The width of y(t) is double of x(t) and hence there is a time scaling by a factor of ½.

Based on the waveforms of the signals given,
