In version 5 FourierTransform[Sin[x]/x, x, k] produces the output (1/2)*Sqrt[Pi/2]*(Sign[1 - k] + Sign[1 + k]) which is a top-hat function that plots out as expected -- Steve Luttrell West Malvern, UK "Kieng" <Sorasak at brown.edu> wrote in message news:bo7of6$ag8$1 at smc.vnet.net... > Dear All, > > I tested the Fourier Function on a sinc function which should give the > top-hat but mathatmatica gave some mysterious plot that I don't understand. > Anyone knows what is going on. > > Thank you very much, > Sorasak > >
