HW16 Fourier

The document discusses Fourier series expansions of various periodic functions: 1) A half-wave sinusoidal function is expanded in a Fourier series. 2) A square wave function is expanded in both a Fourier series and a complex Fourier series, and they are shown to be equivalent. 3) A triangular function is expanded in Fourier sine, cosine, and full Fourier series. 4) A differential equation with a periodic function is solved using Fourier series. 5) Parseval's theorem relates the average of a function over one period to the coefficients of its Fourier series. 6) A periodic gate function is expanded as a complex Fourier series and the coefficients plotted for different periods.

1. Consider a periodic half-wave function,



sin 2π t,

0<t<
T
f (t) = T 2
T
0,
 < t < T.

Expand it in a Fourier series.

2. Consider a periodic function,





0, −π < t < 0
 π
f (t) = 1, 0<t<
2
π



0, < t < π.

Expand it in (a) a Fourier series, (b) a complex Fourier series. (c) Verify the answer of (a) and
one of (b) are equivalent.

3. Represent 

4. Solve ÿ + 2ẏ + 2y = f (t), where the periodic function f (t) = |t|, −π < t < π.

5. (Parseval’s theorem) Show that


 2 ∞  
2 a0 1X 2 2
the average of [f (t)] (over one period) = + a + bn ,
2 2 n=1 n

where a0 , an , and bn are the coefficients of the Fourier series of f (t). In physical applications,
Parseval’s theorem says that the total energy is equal to the sum of the energies associated
with the various harmonics.

6. Consider a periodic function

0, 1 < t < T,

Expand it in a complex Fourier series. Plot |cn |2 vs. n for T = 2 and T = 4 respectively.
