Fourier Series

This document discusses Fourier series analysis of a quasi-square wave periodic waveform. It states that such a waveform can be represented as the sum of sinusoidal components, with coefficients determined by the waveform's symmetry properties. For a quasi-square wave with odd symmetry and half-wave symmetry, only odd harmonic terms are present, with coefficients given by a formula. As an example, a quasi-square wave with a conduction angle of 60 degrees is expressed as a Fourier series. Its fundamental and triplen harmonic magnitudes are specified, and the RMS current is calculated.

• The periodic waveform can be written as, 𝑓(𝑡) = 𝑎0 + 𝑎𝑛 cos(𝑛 𝜔𝑡) + 𝑏𝑛 sin(𝑛 𝜔𝑡) where a0 =0.
• The waveform has odd symmetry (i.e., 𝑓(𝜔𝑡) = −𝑓(−𝜔𝑡)), thus 𝑎𝑛 = 0.
• It also has half wave symmetry (i.e., 𝑓(𝜔𝑡 + 𝜋) = −𝑓(𝜔𝑡)), thus only odd terms in bn is present.
