    If you can calculate 2^n pairs of [t, f(t)], where n is a positive integer, then you can use microsoft excel to produce a fast fourier transform, if you have enabled the engineering analysis toolpack.

    Graph the output, and see if you can spot a trend. Derive an expression by inspection. Test your hypothesis. Due to aliasing, you might want to ignore the second half of the output, as it will be a mirror image of the first half.

    This is the quick way if you can't find an algebraic solution.

    The sinc term just causes the fourier transform to be repeated to infinity at a spacing of

    the sampling frequency
