Abstract: Hilbert's Satz 90 tells us that for a given cyclic extension $K/k$, a unit of norm $1$ in $K$ can be written as a quotient of conjugate elements in $K$. For the extensions $mathbbQ(zet{a}_p)/mathbbQ$ with $p$ prime $>3$, Newman proved a refinement of Hilbert's Satz 90 that gives a sufficient and necessary condition for which a unit of norm $1$ in $mathbbQ(zet{a}_p)$ can be written as a quotient of conjugate units. In order to obtain this result, Newman proved a stronger result that gives a unique representation of units of norm $1$ as a product of a power of $dfrac1-zet{a}_p^{e}1-zet{a}_p$ with a quotient of conjugate units, where $e$ is a given primitive root modulo $p$. In this paper, we obtain a function field analogue of Newman's result for the $wp$-th cyclotomic function field extensions $mathbb{K}_{wp}/mathbb{F}_q(T)$, where $wp$ is a monic prime in $mathbb{F}_q[T]$. As a consequence, we proved a refinement of Hilbert's Satz 90 for the extensions $mathbb{K}_{wp}/mathbb{F}_q(T)$ that gives a sufficient and necessary condition for which a unit of norm $1$ in $mathbb{K}_{wp}$ can be written as a quotient of conjugate units.
