FOURIER SERIES AND HARMONIC ANALYSIS

FOURIER SERIES

• A periodic motion is one which repeats itself in all details after a certain time interval
called the period of motion .
• From the mathematical theory, it can be shown that any periodic curve f(t) of
frequency  (=2/) can be represented by a series of harmonic function, the
frequencies of which are the integral multiples of the frequency .
• The branch of mathematics which deals with splitting up a periodic function into a
series of harmonic function is called Harmonic Analysis.

FOURIER SERIES

• The various amplitudes of cosine and sine waves and a0 can be determined
analytically or numerically when f(t) is given.

FOURIER SERIES OF EVEN AND ODD FUNCTIONS

• An even function satisfies the relation x(-t)= x(t), Fourier series only contains cosine
terms, i.e.

• 𝑓 𝑡 = + 𝑛=1 𝑎𝑛 cos 𝑛𝑡

• An odd function satisfies the relation x(-t)= -x(t), Fourier series contains only sine
terms, i.e.
• 𝑓 𝑡 = ∞ 𝑛=1 𝑏𝑛 sin 𝑛𝑡

Although the series is an infinite sum, we can approximate most periodic
functions with the help of only a few harmonic functions.
