Practice Question on Computing the Fourier Series continuous-time signal
Obtain the Fourier series the CT signal
$ x(t) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 1, & \text{ for } -5\leq t \leq 5,\\ 0, & \text{ for } 5< |t| \leq 10, \end{array} \right. \ $
x(t) periodic with period 20.

Answer 1
$ k=0\, $
$ a_0=\frac{1}{20}\int_{-10}^{10}x(t)e^{-0}dt=\frac{1}{20}\int_{-5}^{5}1dt=\frac{1}{2} $
$ k\ne0 $
$ a_k=\frac{1}{20}\int_{-10}^{10}x(t)e^{-jkw_0t}dt=\frac{1}{20}\int_{-5}^{5}e^{-jk\frac{\pi}{10}t}dt=\frac{1}{20}\Bigg[\frac{e^{-jk\frac{\pi}{2}}-e^{jk\frac{\pi}{2}}}{-jk\frac{\pi}{10}}\Bigg]=\frac{1}{-jk2\pi}\Bigg(e^{-jk\frac{\pi}{2}}-e^{jk\frac{\pi}{2}}\Bigg) $
