Problem 3

• Solve Problem 3.A , if a9 is even

Problem 3.A (25 points)

The signal x(t) is periodic with a period of T = 3 s, and is described over one
period as follows:

{0, otherwise .
2, i f − 1 ≤ t < 1
x(t) =

(a) Plot x(t) in the interval −4 ≤ t ≤ 4.

(b) Find the DC coefficient of the Fourier series of x(t). (Hint: a0)
(c) Find the other Fourier series coefficients of x(t). (i.e., ak , k ≠ 0)

• Solve Problem 3.B , if a9 is odd

Problem 3.B (25 points)

The signal x(t) is periodic with a period of T = 5 s, and is described over

one period as follows:

{0, otherwise .
