Fourier Series (2/3)

• A periodic signal Vo(t) can be described by a constant term
plus an infinite series of sine and cosine terms of frequency
nω, where n is an integer
• 𝑉𝑜 ω𝑡 = 𝑎0 + σ∞ 𝑛=1 𝑎𝑛 cos 𝑛ω𝑡 + 𝑏𝑛 sin 𝑛ω𝑡
• Where 𝑎0 is the average DC value of the output voltage.

• Even Function • Odd Function
• 𝑉𝑜 𝑡 =𝑉𝑜 −𝑡 • 𝑉𝑜 𝑡 =−𝑉𝑜 −𝑡
• 𝑎0 and 𝑎𝑛 may exist and 𝑏𝑛 =0 • 𝑎0 =0 and 𝑎𝑛 =0 and 𝑏𝑛 may exist
