Fourier series:
The representation of signals over a certain interval of time
in terms of the linear combination of orthogonal functions is
called Fourier series.
Fourier series is applicable only for periodic signals
Three methods:
1. Trigonometric form
2. Cosine form
3. Exponential form
If the orthogonal functions are exponential then it is called
exponential Fourier series.
If the orthogonal functions are trigonometric functions, then
it is called Trigonometric Fourier series.
Dirichlet’s conditions
The Conditions under which periodic signals can be
represented by a fourier series are known as Dirichlet’s
conditions
In each period the function x(t)
1) single valued function
2) Finite number of maxima and minima
3) Finite number of discontinuities
4) Absolutely integrable over one period i.e.
T
0
x(t ) dt
Cosine Representation(alternative form of the
Trigonometric representation)
Wave Symmetry
If the periodic signal x(t) has some type of symmetry, then
some of the trigonometric Fourier coefficients may become
zero and calculations of the coefficients becomes simple.
Types of symmetry
1. Even symmetry
2.Odd symmetry
3. Half wave Symmetry
4. Quarter wave Symmetry

Fourier Spectrum
•Fourier spectrum of a periodic signal x(t) is a plot of its
Fourier coefficients verses frequency .
•It has two parts
1. Amplitude spectrum 2. Phase spectra
•The frequency spectrum exists only at discrete frequencies nωo ,
where n=0,1,2,… hence it is known as discrete spectrum or line spectrum
•The Trigonometric representation of periodic signal x(t) contains both
sine and cosine terms with positive and negative amplitude coefficients
(an and bn )but with no phase angles
•The Cosine representation of a periodic signal contains only positive
amplitude coefficients with phase angle θn. In this representation Fourier
coefficients exists for only positive frequencies, this spectra is called
single sided spectra.
Complex frequency Spectrum
•The Fourier spectrum for exponential representation can be
plotted for both positive and negative frequencies and hence
it is called two sided spectra
