*Separately mention all the assumptions/equations/symbols used

Problem 1
Check and state whether the signals are periodic or not. If periodic determine the period.
1. sin (− πx + 1)
2. 2 · sin (3πx) cos (3πx + π) + 5
3. exp (− πx + 1)
4. 2 cos2 (− 2πx) + 5

Problem 4
For each of the signals first 3 signals in Problem 3 , i.e., 3.a,3.b and 3.c plot the fourier
spectra i.e,

(a) plot the coefficients w.r.t ak

(b) plot the coefficients w.r.t bk

Problem 5
Suppose we have a an inverting switch for DC-AC conversion working at 60Hz. The DC
input has power A2 . The output signal has no sinusoidal coefficients(bk ) and average
value of the signal is zero. The cosine coefficients(ak = 4A sin(kπ/2)
kπ
, k 6= 0.

(a) Draw the AC output

(b) Compute the first 2 term, 3 term, 4 term approximation error. You can give the
MSE value w.r.t. original signal.
(c) Where you see maximum errors between the original signal and the FS approxi-
mation?

Problem 6
Take a triangular wave f(t) of amplitude 1 and period T.

(a) Compute the Fourier series representation of the signal.

(b) Compute the Fourier series representation using (a) if you move the signal by 1
in horizontal direction .
(c) Compute the Fourier series representation using (a) if you make shift the origin
upward by .5.

*Hint: horizontal shift by replace t by t+shift and vertical shift changes average value.
