1. For the continuous-time periodic signal
! 2π " ! 5π "
x (t) = 2 + cos 3 t + 4 sin 3 t ,
determine the fundamental frequency wo and the Fourier series coefficients ak such that
x (t) = ∑∞
k =→∞ ak e
jkω0 t .
2. Use the Fourier series analysis equation to calculate the coefficients ak for the continuous-time periodic
signal
#
1.5, 0↑t<1
x (t) =
→1.5, 1 ↑ t < 2
with fundamental frequency wo = π .
3. Suppose we are given the following information about a signal x(t):
(a) x (t) is real and odd.
(b) x (t) is periodic with period T=2 and has Fourier coefficients ak .
(c) ak = 0 for| k |> 1 .

(d) 21 0 | x (t)|2 dt = 1.
Specify two different signals that satisfy these conditions.
4. (a) The Fourier series coefficients of a continuous time signal that is periodic with period 4 is specified
below. Determine the signal x(t)
#
0 ;k = 0
ak =
( j)k sinkπ
kπ/4
; otherwise.
(b) Use the definition of the FS to determine the time-domain signal by FS coefficients:
ak = jε[k → 1] → jε[k + 1] + ε[k → 3] + ε[k + 3], ω0 = 2π
(c) Use the definition of the FS to determine the time-domain signal by FS coefficients:
% &|k|
ak = →31 , ω0 = 1
5. Consider the signal,
x (t) = cos2πt
Since x (t) is periodic with a fundamental period of 1, it is also periodic with a period of N, where N is
any positive integer. What are the Fourier series coefficients of x (t) if we regard it as a periodic signal
with period 3?
6. Let x (t) be a periodic signal with fundamental period T and Fourier series coefficients ak . Derive the
Fourier series coefficients of each of the following signals in terms of ak :
(a) Re{ x (t)}
(b) x (3t → 1) [for this part, first determine the period of x (3t → 1)]
