Study Notes
Fourier Series
- A Fourier series is a representation of a periodic function in terms of the frequencies of its constituent components.
Characteristics of Periodic Functions
- A periodic function is a function that repeats its values in regular intervals, known as periods.
- The period of a function is the smallest positive real number L such that f(x + L) = f(x) for all x.
Fourier Expansion of Periodic Function
- The Fourier expansion of a periodic function in the interval (C, C+2L) is a way to express the function as an infinite sum of sine and cosine terms.
- The Fourier expansion of a periodic function f(x) in the interval (C, C+2L) is given by: f(x) = a0 + Σ[a_n cos(nπx/L) + b_n sin(nπx/L)]
Half Range Fourier Series
- The half range Fourier series is a type of Fourier series that represents a function over a half-range of the period.
- The half range Fourier series is useful for functions that are odd or even.
Parseval's Theorem
- Parseval's Theorem states that the sum of the squares of the Fourier coefficients of a function is equal to the integral of the square of the function over one period.
- The theorem is useful for finding the energy of a signal represented by a Fourier series.
Harmonic Analysis
- Harmonic analysis is the study of the representation of functions as a sum of harmonics, or sinusoidal components.
- Fourier series is a fundamental tool in harmonic analysis, used to decompose a function into its constituent frequencies.
