Evaluate the following integrals using Rayleigh’s energy theorem (This is Parseval’s theorem for Fourier transforms). All integrals spans between –∞ and ∞.
I1 = ∫ df / [α2 + (2πf)2]
I2 = ∫ sinc2(τf) df
I3 = ∫ df / [α2 + (2πf)2]2
I4 = ∫ sinc4(τf) df
Using Rayleigh’s Theorem
Rayleigh’s energy theorem (Parseval’s theorem for Fourier transforms) is convenient for finding the energy in a signal whose square is not easily integrated in the time domain. or vie versa.
For example, the signal x(t) = 40 sinc (20t) has energy density
G( f ) = | X( f ) |2 = [2Π ( f/20 )]2 = 4Π ( f/20 ) where Π(f/20) need not be squared because it has unity amplitude. Using Rayleigh’s energy theorem, you can find that energy in x(t) is
E = ∫G(f) df = ∫ 4 df = 80 J (1st integral span between -∞ and ∞ and 2nd integral span between -10 and 10).
This would check with the result that is obtained by integrating x2(t) over all t using the definite integral ∫ sinc2 (u) du = 1.
The energy contained in the frequency interval (0, W) can be found from the integral
Ew = ∫ G(f) df = 2 ∫ [2Π ( f/20 )]2 df (1st integral span -W and W, 2nd integral span 0 and W).
= 8W when W ≤ 10
= 80 when W > 10
