Determine the Periodic Signal
A periodic signal x[n] has the following characteristics:
1. N = 4
2. The average value of the signal over the interval $ 0 \leq n \leq 7 $ is 0.
3. $ \sum_{n=0}^{3}x[n](-j)^n = -20j $
4. $ a_{-k} \; = \; a_{k} $
Solution
Coupling 1. and 2. together, we see that the interval is twice the fundamental period. The coefficient $ a_{0} $ is equal to the average value of the signal over one period, so $ a_{0} = \frac{0}{2} = 0 $.
Recall that $ a_{k}=\frac{1}{N} \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x[n]e^{-jk \frac{2\pi}{N}n} $
