The Translation property of the Fourier transform gives
For the remaining integral, the same Translation property of the Fourier transform identifies as the Fourier transform of . By the product form of the convolution theorem, with inverse normalization ,
But is supported in , whereas the four translated triangular functions making up are all supported in . Their product is identically zero. Therefore the requested integral is for every real .
