Homework 4 Ben Horst: 4.1 :: 4.3 :: 4.5


Problem

1. The signal has only two non-zero Fourier coefficients (-1 and 1).

2. The fundamental period of the signal is 8.

3. The function is sinusoidal.

4. Both Fourier coefficients are non-real.

5. The signal has a maximum value of 0.5 and a minimum of -0.5.

Solution

The answer is $ {1 \over 2}\sin({\pi \over 4}t) $

 Surprise!
