Guess the Periodic Signal

A certain periodic signal has the following properties:

1. N = 6

2. $ \sum_{n=0}^{4}x[n] = 4 $

3. $ \sum_{n=1}^{5}(-1)^nx[n] = 2 $

4. $ a_k = a_{k+3}\, $


Answer

From 1. we know that $ x[n] = \frac{1}{6}\sum_{n=0}^{4}a_k e^{jk\frac{\pi}{3}n}\, $

Using 2., it is apparent that this is the formula for $ a_k\, $. Specifically, for $ a_0\, $
