What is Fourier Series?

� Any real, periodic signal with fundamental freq. f0=1/T0 can be represented as the sum of complex exponential signals with freq= k f0

Analysis: x(t) � ak

� Step 1: determine the fundamental period of the signal, T0� Shortest interval where signal repeats or satisfy

x(t+T0)=x(t)� Step 2: using the following formula to compute
