1. A sinusoidal signal of the form A cos(2f0 t), A > 0, is full wave rectified
to obtain gp (t).
(a) Using the complex Fourier series representation of gp (t) and the Par-
sevals power theorem, compute

(b) The full wave rectified signal is passed through an ideal bandpass
filter having a gain of 2 in the passband frequency range of f0 <
|f | < 5f0 . Compute the power of the output signal.
- Solution: The complex Fourier series representation of a periodic signal
gp (t), having a period T1 , is:

X
gp (t) = cn exp( j 2nt/T1 ) (2)
n=

where
T1 /2
1
Z
cn = gp (t) exp(j 2nt/T1 ) dt (3)
T1 T1 /2

denotes the complex Fourier series coefficient. In the given problem:

gp (t) = A| cos(2f0 t)|

T1 = 1/(2f0 ). (4)

Hence
T1 /2

cn = |cos(2f0 t)| exp(j 2nt/T1 ) dt

Z
= [cos(2(f0 n/T1 )t) + cos(2(f0 + n/T1 )t)] dt
T1 0
A
= [sin(2(f0 n/T1 )T1 /2)/(2(f0 n/T1 ))
T1
+ sin(2(f0 + n/T1 )T1 /2)/(2(f0 + n/T1 ))]
AT1

A(1)n
= [1/(1 2n) + 1/(1 + 2n)]

Observe that in (5)
cn = cn . (6)
From Parsevals power theorem, we have:

|gp (t)| dt = |cn |

where we have used (6). Comparing (1) with the last equation of (7), we
obtain:
A = 3. (8)
Now, the left hand side of (7) is equal to:
Z T1 /2

Z

|gp (t)| dt = cos2 (2f0 t) dt
T1 t=T1 /2 T1 t=T1 /2

Substituting for A from (8), the sum in (1) is equal to
S = 4.5. (10)
The (periodic) signal at the bandpass filter output is

where we have assumed that the gain of the bandpass filter is 2 and cn is
given by (5). The signal power at the bandpass filter output is
