For the difference of Heaviside step functions is an interval indicator, and on and zero elsewhere. Its Fourier transform isThe apparent singularity at is removable. The formula remains valid for real negative , because the original step-function difference and the oriented integral both reverse sign; for both vanish. This is the Fourier transform of an interval indicator and produces a scaled sinc function.
