After that, I explained how to transition from the continuous-time Fourier transform in terms of $ \omega $, which you have seen in ECE301, to the continuous-time Fourier transform in terms of f. We then saw a few important properties of the CTFT (duality, multiplication, and convolution) and we computed the Fourier transform of some basic signals (Dirac delta and complex exponential.) Some subtleties regarding the rescaling of the Dirac delta were observed.
