Define a periodic DT signal and compute its Fourier series coefficients.

For DT,

$ x[n]=\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} a_k e^{jk\frac{2\pi}{N} n} $

where

$ a_k=\frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x[n] e^{-jk\frac{2\pi}{N} n} $.

Let the signal be

  x[n] = 2cos(5πn)

N = 2

$ a_k = \frac{1}{2} \sum_{n=0}^{N-1}x[n] e^{-jk\frac{2\pi}{2} n} $

$ a0 = \frac{1}{2} \sum_{n=0}^{1}x[n] e^{0} $

$ a_0 = \frac{1}{2} *-2 $

a0 = −1 similarly a1 = -2
