Discrete-time Fourier transform computation

Compute the discrete-time Fourier transform of the following signal:

$ x[n]= u[n]-u[n-3] $

(Write enough intermediate steps to fully justify your answer.)

Answer 1

$ \mathcal{X}(\omega)=\mathcal{F}(x[n])=\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}x[n]e^{-j\omega n} =\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}(u[n]-u[n-3])e^{-j\omega n} =\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}(\delta [n]+\delta [n-1]+\delta[n-2])e^{-j\omega n} $

$ =\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}(\delta [n]e^{-j\omega n}+\delta [n-1]e^{-j\omega n}+\delta[n-2]e^{-j\omega n}]) $

$ =\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}(\delta [n]e^{-j0\omega}+\delta [n-1]e^{-j\omega}+\delta[n-2]e^{-j2\omega}]) $

$ =e^{-j0\omega}\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}\delta [n]+e^{-j\omega}\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}\delta [n-1]+e^{-j2\omega}\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}\delta [n-2] $

$ =1+e^{-j\omega}+e^{-j2\omega} $

Instructor's comments: This is a bit long. Could you shorten your solution somehow? -pm

Answer 2

$ \mathcal{X}(\omega) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}x[n]e^{-j\omega n} = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} (u[n] - u[n-3]) e^{-j\omega n} $

$ = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} u[n]e^{-j\omega n} - \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}u[n-3]e^{-j\omega n} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}e^{-j\omega n} - \sum_{n=3}^{\infty}e^{-j\omega n} $

Let l = n-3

$ = \frac{1}{1-e^{-j\omega}} - \sum_{l=0}^{\infty}e^{-j\omega l}e^{-j\omega 3} = \frac{1}{1-e^{-j\omega}} - e^{-j\omega 3} \sum_{l=0}^{\infty}(e^{-j\omega})^{l} $

$ = \frac{1}{1-e^{-j\omega}} - e^{-j\omega 3}\frac{1}{1-e^{-j\omega}} $

Answer 3

write it here.
