Part a. Let x[n] represent the following discrete-time signal

x[n]=\cases{ 0&for $n\lt0$\cr a^0&for $n=0,1,2$\cr a^1&for $n=3,4,5$\cr a^2&for $n=6,7,8$\cr \cdots\cr}
where a is a real number between 0 and 1, as shown in the plot below.

Determine a closed form expression for X(\Omega), which is the discrete-time Fourier transform of x[n].

Part b. Let x(t) represent the following continuous-time signal

x(t)=\cases{ 0&for $t\lt0$\cr a^0&for $0\le t\lt3$\cr a^1&for $3\le t\lt6$\cr a^2&for $6\le t\lt9$\cr \cdots\cr}
where a is a real number between 0 and 1, as shown in the plot below.

Determine a closed-form expression for X(\omega), which is the continuous-time Fourier transform of x(t).
