Exercise 4: Fourier spectrum


The exponential CTFS coefficients provide frequency information about the content of a signal.
However, it is difficult to understand the nature of the signal by looking at the values of the
coefficients, which are generally complex-valued. Instead, the exponential CTFS coefficients
are generally plotted in terms of their magnitude and phase. The plot of the magnitude of the
exponential CTFS coefficients |Ck| versus k (or kω) is known as the magnitude (or amplitude)
spectrum, while the plot of the phase of the exponential CTFS <Ck versus k (or kω) is referred
to as the phase spectrum.
Plot the magnitude and phase spectra of the signal g(t ) considered in Exercise 3.
