Fourier Series

Fourier series represent periodic signals in terms of


sinusoids or complex exponentials. A signal u(t) is
periodic with period T if u(t + T) = u(t) for all t. Note
that, if u is periodic with period T, then it is also
periodic with period nT, where n is any positive
integer. The smallest time interval for which u(t) is
periodic is termed the fundamental period.

t = 0:.001:.25;
x = sin(2*pi*50*t) + sin(2*pi*120*t);

Add some random noise with a standard deviation of 2 to


produce a noisy signal y. Take a look at this noisy signal y by
plotting it.

y = x + 2*randn(size(t));
plot(y(1:50))

Compute the power spectral density, a measurement of the


energy at various frequencies, using the complex conjugate
(CONJ). Form a frequency axis for the first 127 points and use
it to plot the result. (The remainder of the 256 points are
symmetric.)
