Introduction to Hilbert Transform
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.
