Example #1: - Fundamental Period - Fundamental Frequency

This document provides examples of Fourier series representations of periodic functions f(t). Example 1 expresses f(t) as an infinite sum of cosine and sine terms with coefficients an and bn that decrease in amplitude as n increases. Example 2 expresses an odd symmetric sawtooth wave f(t) with only nonzero bn coefficients. Example 3 expresses a square wave f(t) with Cn coefficients that are zero for even n and 2/πn for odd n, and phase shifts θn that are zero except for −π at specific values of n.
