| Jan 26, 2023 at 9:37 | comment | added | CodingFryCook | Thank you for this amazing answer! I do have one more question though: f(x) should be replaced with f(t) in $F_{p}(\omega)$? If no, why is this the case? | |

I’ve also talked about this difference in conventions in this answer, when referring to phasors: physics.stackexchange.com/a/687491/111969 Another point worth noting is that frequently engineers define the Fourier transform as a function of the frequency rather than the angular frequency, because frequency is what instruments indicate and you can also get rid of the $2\pi$ factors in front of the integrals. | |
