Hi;

I think in my earlier post I did not convert the cell to INPUT FORM before posting it.

The code I posted seems magled up a little. Trying again.

Is this one is supposed to post Mathematica code? convert to INPUT FORM first?

Clear["Global`*"]
f[t_] := Sin[3.5*t] + 2*Cos[2*t];
g[t_] := Piecewise[{{0, t < -2*Pi}, {f[t], t >= -2*Pi && t <= 2*Pi},
{0, t > 2*Pi}}];
c[w_] := Integrate[g[t]*Exp[(-I)*w*t], {t, -Infinity, Infinity}];
Plot[20*Log[10, Abs[c[w]]], {w, -5, 5}, PlotRange -> All]

thanks,

Nasser
