3.1 THEORY
Linearity
If is the Fourier transform of, is the transform of , and so on, the linearity
property of the Fourier transform states that

a1 f1(t) + a2 f2(t) +......+ an fn(t) = a1F1(j) + a2F2( j) + ..... + anFn(j)___(3.1)

where ai is some arbitrary real constant.

Time Scaling
If is a real constant, and F(j) is the Fourier transform of f(t) , then,

f ( at ) = f( _____________( 3.2 )

that is, the time scaling property of the Fourier transform states that if we
replace the variable in the time domain by , we must replace the variable in the
frequency domain by , and divide by the absolute value of .

Time Shifting
If f(ω)is the Fourier transform of f(t), then,(8.42)
that is, the time shifting property of the Fourier transform states that if we shift the time function
by a constant , the Fourier transform magnitude does not change, but the term is added to
its phase angle.
