Example of Computation of Fourier series of a CT SIGNAL

A practice problem on "Signals and Systems"


The signal used

In this example, I am using the signal $ x(t)=cos(2t) + 2sin(2t)\! $.


Coefficient Breakdown

To get the coefficients of a simple signal like this, we have to expand it.

$ x(t)=\frac{e^{2jt}}{2}+ \frac{e^{-2jt}} {2}+ 2\frac{e^{2jt}} {2j}+ 2\frac{e^{-2jt}} {2j}! $


$ \omega_0\! $ is $ 2 \! $ in this example.

$ a_{1,-1}=\frac{1}{2}\! $

$ a_{2,-2}=\frac{1}{j}\! $
