Lecture 11:Introduction to Fourier Series
Sections 2.2.3, 2.3
Trigonometric Fourier Series
•Outline▫Introduction▫Visualization▫Theoretical Concepts▫Qualitative Analysis▫Example▫Class Exercise
Introduction• What is Fourier Series?
▫ Representation of a periodic function with a weighted, infinite sum of sinusoids.
• Why Fourier Series?▫ Any arbitrary periodic signal, can be approximated by
using some of the computed weights
▫ These weights are generally easier to manipulate and analyze than the original signal
Periodic Function
• What is a periodic Function?▫ A function which remains unchanged when time-shifted
by one period f(t) = f(t + To) for all values of t
• What is To
To To
Properties of a periodic function 1
• A periodic function must be everlasting▫ From –∞ to ∞
• Why?
• Periodic or Aperiodic?
Properties of a periodic function
• You only need one period of the signal to generate the entire signal▫ Why?
• A periodic signal cam be expressed as a sum of sinusoids of frequency F0 = 1/T0 and all its harmonics
VisualizationCan you represent this simple function using sinusoids?
Single sinusoid representation
Visualization
To obtain the exact signal, an infinite number of sinusoids are required

Qualitative Analysis• Is it possible to have an idea of what your solution
should be before actually computing it?
For Sure
Properties – DC Value• If the function has no DC value, then a0 = ?

Properties – Symmetry•If the function has:
▫even symmetry: only the cosine and associated coefficients exist
▫odd symmetry: only the sine and associated coefficients exist
▫even and odd: both terms exist
Properties – Symmetry
• If the function is half-wave symmetric, then only odd harmonics exist
Half wave symmetry: f(t-T0/2) = -f(t)

Properties – Discontinuities•If the function has
▫ Discontinuities: the coefficients will be proportional to 1/n
▫ No discontinuities: the coefficients will be proportional to 1/n2
• Rationale:

Which is closer to a sinusoid?
Which function has discontinuities?
Example
• Without any calculations, predict the general form of the Fourier series of:

•Gives the frequency composition of the function▫Amplitude, phase of sinusoidal components
•Could provide information not found in time signal▫E.g. Pitch, noise components
•May help distinguish between signals ▫E.g speech/speaker recognition
