Mathematical Expression of Sinc Function
Since sinc function is a ratio we can define it mathematically as
Sinc(x)= 1 at x=0
otherwise,
Sinc(x)=sin(πx)/(πx)
The value of function at x=0 is calculated by L’Hôpital’s rule and is equal to 1. It is also important to note that the integral of function from -∞ to +∞ is π.
∫ sinc(x)dx = π
Fourier Transform
Let us see how we can get a frequency domain function from a time domain function and a time-domain function from a frequency-domain signal.
X(ω) = ∫x(t)e−jωt dt Forward transform
x(t) = 1/2π ∫ X(ω)ejωt dω Inverse transform
If X(ω) is the Fourier transform of a signal x(t) meaning x(t) is the inverse transform of X(ω)
x(t) ←→ X(ω)
x(t)= FT ←→ X(ω)
This means we can easily analyse a signal in frequency and time domain of either form is given to us
Fourier Analysis of Sinc Function
The main thing that makes Sinc Function a milestone in communication is its Fourier Transform. The Fourier transform of sinc function is rectangular pulse and a rectangular shape in the frequency domain is the idealized “brick-wall” filter response. This makes sinc(x) as the impulse response of an ideal low-pass filter.
