we proceed via the FT of the signum function sgn(t) which is defined as:

sgn(t) = 1 for t>0 n -1 for t<0

FT of sgn(t) = 2/jw where w is omega n j is iota(complex)

we actually write unit step function in terms of signum fucntion : n the formula to convert unit step in to signum function is

u(t) = 1/2 ( 1 + sgn(t) )

As we know the FT of sgn(t) we can easily compute FT of u(t).

Difference between fourier transform and z-transform?

The Fourier transform is used to analyze signals in the frequency domain, transforming a signal from the time domain to the frequency domain. The z-transform is used in the analysis of discrete-time systems and signals, transforming sequences in the z-domain. While the Fourier transform is typically applied to continuous signals, the z-transform is used with discrete signals represented as sequences.

What is the value of d power in watts of a step function?

The unit step function is also known as the Dirac delta function. It can be thought of as a function of the real line (x-axis) which is zero everywhere except at the origin (x=0) where the function is infinite in such a way that it's total integral is 1 - hence the use of the word 'unit'. The function is not a strict function by definition in that any function with the properties as stated (0 everywhere except the origin which by definition has a limit tending to 0), must therefore also have an integral of 0. The answer is therefore zero everywhere except at the origin where it is infinite.
