I'm rather sure that the scaling part is wrong -- tri(t/a) = conv(rect(t/a),rect(t/a)). Plug that into convolution formula and you get something different. Draw the convolution on paper if you need convincing. The convolution of rect(t) and rect(t/a) will not become non-zero at -a. Instead, it will become non zero at something like (-a - 1)/2.

Article could be more clear about the notation for a triangle function of height other than 1, so that one could understand the tables given in the continuous fourier transform article.Dsolderthis (talk) 05:45, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
