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