View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: x (t-t0) is periodic with period T. the Fourier series coefficient of x (t-t0) is X1[k] = 1

T
∫ x (t-t0)e-jkωt dt
= e-jkωt0 X[k]
Similarly, the Fourier series coefficient of x (t+t0) is X2[k] = ejkωt0 X[k]
The Fourier series coefficient of x (t-t0) + x (t+t0) is
Y[k] = X1[k] + X2[k]
= e-jkωt0 X[k] + ejkωt0 X[k]
= 2 cos ( 2πt
kt0) X[k].

7. The Fourier series coefficient of the signal y(t) = Even{x(t)} is ___________

X[k]+X[−k]
a) 2
X[k]−X[−k]
b) 2
∗
X[k]+X [−k]
c) 2
∗
X[k]−X [−k]
d) 2

View Answer

Answer: a

∫ x (-t)e-jkωt dt
= 1
∫ x (α)ejkωα dα (https://freestar.io/?utm_medium=stickyFooter)
T
X[k]+X[−k]
= X [-k] ∴ The Fourier coefficient of Even{x(t)} = Y[k] = 2
.
8. The Fourier series coefficient of the signal y(t) = Re{x(t)} is ____________
X[k]+X[−k]
a) 2
X[k]−X[−k]
b) 2
∗
X[k]+X [−k]
c) 2
∗
X[k]−X [−k]
d) 2

View Answer

Answer: c
∗
x(t)+x (−t)
Explanation: Re{x (t)} =
2

The Fourier coefficient of x* (t) is

X1[k] = 1
∫ x* (t)e-jkωt dt = X1∗ [-k]
T

Or, X1∗ [k] = 1

∫ x(t)ejkωt dt = X [-k]
T

So, X1[k] = X1∗ [-k]
