Do a Fourier transform on a narrow pulse one day. :-)  A pulse of "infinite
height" and zero duration has a spread of energy from zero to infinite
frequency (obviously physically impossible, but that's the mathematical
result).  That implies infinite bandwidth.  A narrow pulse of finite width
contains a broad range of frequencies (again, this can be proven
mathematically).



This is demonstrated regularly by GSM mobiles, which interfere with
EVERYTHING else because they emit a narrow, high amplitude pulse at 217 Hz.
What a f...ing stupid idea that was!!!
