 Fourier Series
Why Fourier Series?

• The Fourier series is named after Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier (1768–1830).
• A technique for expressing a periodic function in terms of sinusoids.
• Once the source function is expressed in terms of sinusoids, we can apply the phasor method to analyze circuits.
• Any practical periodic function can be represented as a sum of sinusoids. Such a representation, along with the
superposition theorem, allows us to find the response of circuits to arbitrary periodic inputs using phasor
techniques.

Two Types:
1. Trigonometric Fourier series.
2. Exponential Fourier series. Task: Conversion from Trigonometric to exponential and vice-versa

 Trigonometric Fourier series
 The Fourier series of a periodic function f (t) is a representation that resolves f (t) into a dc component and an ac
component comprising an infinite series of harmonic sinusoids.

where is called the fundamental frequency in radians per second.

The sinusoid or is called the nth harmonic of
f(t); it is an odd harmonic if n is odd and an even harmonic if n
is even

 A major task in Fourier series is the determination of the Fourier coefficients a0, an, and bn. The process of determining the
coefficients is called Fourier analysis
