Even odd Fourrier Series Coefficients

Let $ x[n] $ be a real periodic sequence with fundamental period $ {N}_{0} $ and Fourier coefficients $ {c}_{k}={a}_{k}+j{b}_{k} $ where ak and bk are both real.


Show that $ {a}_{-k}={a}_{k} $ and $ {b}_{-k}=-{b}_{k} $.


If $ x[n] $ is real we have (equation for Fourier coefficients):


$ {c}_{-k}=\frac{1}{{N}_{0}}\sum_{n=0}^{{N}_{0}-1}x[n]{e}^{jk{\omega}_{0}n} $

and further:

$ ={\left(\frac{1}{{N}_{0}}\sum_{n=0}^{{N}_{0}-1}x[n]{e}^{-jk{\omega}_{0}n} \right)}^{*}={{c}^{*}}_{k} $

Therefore:

$ {c}_{-k}={a}_{-k}+j{b}_{-k}={({a}_{k}+{b}_{k})}^{*}={a}_{k}-j{b}_{k} $

So now we can see that:

 $  {a}_{-k}={a}_{k} $ and
 $  {b}_{-k}=-{b}_{k} $
