Transforms and its Applications: UNIT 3: Fourier Series

Fourier Series: Definition, Euler formulas

Here, we express a non‒sinusoidal periodic function into a a fundamental and its harmonics, a series of sines and cosines of an angle and its multiples of the form.

FOURIER SERIES

Periodic functions occur frequently in engineering problems. Such periodic functions are often complicated. It is therefore desirable to represent these in terms of the simple periodic functions of sine and cosine.

Definition: Fourier Series:

Here, we express a non‒sinusoidal periodic function into a a fundamental and its harmonics, a series of sines and cosines of an angle and its multiples of the form.

  a0/2 + a1 cosx + a2 cos 2x + … + an cos nx + …

+ b1 sinx + b2 sin 2x + … + bn sin nx + …

= a0/2 +  cos nx +  bn sin nx

is called the Fourier series, where

 a0, a1, a2, …. an, ... ... b1, b2, …. bn, are constants.


EULER'S FORMULA FOR THE FOURIER COEFFICIENTS

If a function f(x) defined in c <x<c+2π can be expanded as the infinite trigonometric series,


 Formula (1), (2) and (3) are known as the Euler formulas.

Note: Only. if the constant term is taken as a0/2, formula (2) is true for n = 0.

 

Useful Integrals to establish Euler formulae :

To establish Euler formulae, the following integrals will be required.
