Fourier Series

1. For the following signal:

x(t)
2
-7 -6 -1 5 6
-4 -3 2 3 8 9 time
-2

a) Find the Fourier series

b) Plot the spectra versus frequency, ω = nω 0 .

2. Repeat problem 1 for the following signal:

x(t)

cos(t)

-10 10 time

3. Compute the Fourier series for the following signals:

a) x( t ) = 2 + 4 cos(50t + π / 2) + 12 cos(100t − π / 3)
b) x( t ) = 4 cos(2 π(1000) t ) cos(2 π750000t )

4. For the signals given in Problem 3c) and 3 d), use Matlab to plot the truncated Fourier series for N = 3,
N = 10 and N= 40. (Use subplot to save paper).

5. Find the Fourier series for the following signal. Also, sketch the approximation if a large number of
terms are kept in the series (say N=30).
