Grading Rubric Division of Tasks Points

Task A.1 [25]

● Calculation of Fourier coefficients ao, an, and bn using the correct time
period and frequency. 15
● Representing the given signal as a linear combination of sinusoids (at least for
05
n=3).
● Fourier Spectrum i.e. Amplitude vs. Frequency graph (represent sine 05
components and cosine components individually on two separate graphs).
Note: The DC component is represented with cosine terms at 0 unit
frequency.

Task A.2 [25]

● Calculation of Fourier coefficient Cn using the correct time period and
frequency. 10
● Representing the given signal as a linear combination of complex
05
exponentials (at least for n=3).
● Fourier Spectra; Amplitude Spectrum and Phase Spectrum i.e. show 10
Amplitude vs. Frequency and Phase Vs. Frequency on two separate graphs.

Task B.1 [25]

● Generating Fourier coefficients through the code using expressions of ao, an,
and bn from task A.1. 15
● Correct use of loop for ‘N’ number of components/terms/harmonics. Here, N
05
should be equal to <Your 3-digit Roll No.> + 5.
● Plotting the signal which should be the sum of all the components. 05
● Labelling of axes and adding title to the plot. The title should show signal no. 05
/ name.

Task B.2 [25]

● Generating Fourier coefficient through the code using expression of Cn in
task A.2. 15
● Correct use of loop for ‘N’ number of components/terms/harmonics. Here, N
05
should be equal to <Your 3-digit Roll No.> + 5.
● Plotting the signal which should be the sum of all the components. 05
● Labelling of axes and adding title to the plot. The title should show signal no. 05
/ name.
