Help with fourier transform

Hello.
How does this function do Fourier transform?
f(t)=(1/√2)e^(-t^2/2a^2)
A is a constant.

Try this:
syms a t w
f(t)=(1/sqrt(2))*exp(-t^2/2*a^2)
F(w) = int(f*exp(1j*w*t), t);
F(w) = simplify(F, 'Steps', 050)
producing:
F(w) =
((-pi)^(1/2)*erf((2^(1/2)*(t*a^2*1i + w))/(2*(-a^2)^(1/2)))*exp(-w^2/(2*a^2)))/(2*(-a^2)^(1/2))
or:

Thanks.
How to draw this Fourier transform?
This results looks odd.The FT of a Gaussian is a Gaussian
Not sure why MATLAB returns ERF term (actually I do know).
My pleasure.
This calculates the indefinite integral. You need to substitute the appropriate time values for ‘t’, and then evaluate it as you would for any integral. (If the ‘t’ values are symmetrical, for example [-T +T] some terms may cancel, resulting in a simpler expression for the definite integral.) Then plot it as a function of ‘w’ (actually ω or ). Add a constant of integration as well, if you want to.
It is also necessary to provide numerical values for ‘a’ and ‘T’:
syms a t T w
f(t)=(1/sqrt(2))*exp(-t^2/2*a^2)
F(w) = int(f*exp(1j*w*t), t, -T, T);
F = subs(F,{a,T},{5, 10});
F(w) = simplify(F, 'Steps', 500)
a = 1;
figure
fplot(real(F(w)), [-20 20]*pi)
hold on
fplot(imag(F(w)), [-20 20]*pi)
hold off
The evaluated and substituted function is then:
Experiment to get the result you want.
Thank you very much!!!!
I will try it !
This formula is wrong. The ERF terms must be removed, otherwise it is not Fourier transform.
