Continuous time Fourier Series It is convenient to choose a set of orthogonal waveforms as basic signals due to It is mathematically convenient to represent an arbitrary signal as a weighted sum of orthogonal waveform because many of the calculations involving signals are simplified by using such representation. It is possible to visualize the signal as a vector in an orthogonal coordinate system with orthogonal waveforms being coordinates. Representation in terms of orthogonal basis function provides a convenient means of solving for the response of linear systems to arbitrary inputs. 2
Continuous time Fourier Series For periodic signals, the set of harmonically related complex exponentials is the convenient choice as orthogonal basis function . Fourier Series The representation of a non sinusoidal periodic signals in terms of complex exponential or equivalently in terms of sine and cosine waveforms . Fourier series is mathematical tool that allows the representation of any periodic signal as the sum of harmonically related sinusoids . 3
Fourier Series 4 Any periodic signal can be expressed by Fourier series if If it is discontinuous and there are a finite number of discontinuities in the period T ; It has a finite average value over the period T ; i.e. absolutely integrable It has a finite number of positive and negative maxima in the period T. When these Dirichlet conditions are satisfied, the Fourier series exist.

Relationship between Trigonometric & Exponential Fourier Series 30 Both representations are identical . The reasons for offering the exponential form are that it is more compact and the expression for deriving the exponential coefficients is also more compact. Also, the LTI system response to exponential signals is simpler than that of sinusoids.
Relationship between Trigonometric & Exponential Fourier Series 31 Disadvantage Exponential form can not be visualized as easily as sinusoids . For spontaneous and qualitative understanding the sinusoids are better.
Relationship between Trigonometric & Exponential Fourier Series 32 To overcome the difficulty with the exponential form we can always convert the exponential form into trigonometric form using a = X a n = 2 Re{ X n } = X n + X -n b n = 2 Im { X n } = j ( X n – X -n )
Line Spectrum 33 It is a plot that shows each of harmonic amplitudes in the signal. The line deceases rapidly for the rapidly converging signals . The line deceases slowly for the signals with discontinuities (triangular, saw tooth, square), since their series have strong high harmonics. The harmonic contents and line spectrum of a signal never change and independent of method of analysis.
Line Spectrum 34 The magnitude spectrum is The magnitude spectrum is even function.
Line Spectrum 35 The phase spectrum is The phase spectrum is odd function.
Concept of Negative Frequency 36 The existence of the spectrum at negative frequency is confusing because by definition the frequency is positive quantity. Then what is the negative frequency?
Concept of Negative Frequency 37 The negative frequencies are present in the exponential Fourier series because the mathematical model of a signal that requires use of negative frequencies. The exponential spectra are a graphical representation of coefficients as a function of . Existence of spectrum at is an indication that an exponential component exists in the series.
Concept of Negative Frequency 38 The function of frequency (negative frequency) represents the counterpart of signal of (positive frequency), and when these two exponential are combined, they provide a real function (sinusoid) of frequency .
