EXPERIMENT NUMBER 11

Fourier Series
11.1 OBJECTIVE:
 To become familiar with fourier transform.
 To understand why fourier transform is used?
 To become familiar with the analysis of time domain and frequency domain.

11.2 INTRODUCTION:
The Fourier transform (FT) decomposes (analyzes) a function of time (a signal) into its
constituent frequencies. This is similar to the way a musical chord can be expressed in terms
of the volumes and frequencies (or pitches) of its constituent notes. The term Fourier
transform refers to both the frequency domain representation and the mathematical operation
that associates the frequency domain representation to a function of time.

11.3 IN-LAB TASK

In-Lab Task 01: Compute Fourier transform: x(t)  cos(t) .

Code Output
syms t w; x=
x=cos(t); cos(t)
f=fourier(x,w);
f=
pi*(dirac(w - 1) + dirac(w + 1))
>>

In-Lab Task 02: Compute the inverse Fourier transform of signal X ()  sin  / 

Code Output
syms ohm w; x=
x=sin(ohm)/ohm sin(ohm)/ohm
f=fourier(x,w)
ff=ifourier(f,ohm) f=
pi*heaviside(1 - w) - pi*heaviside(- w - 1)
ff =
-((pi*(cos(ohm)*i - sin(ohm)))/ohm -
(pi*(cos(ohm)*i + sin(ohm)))/ohm)/(2*pi)
>>

In-Lab Task 03: Suppose that a signal x(t) is given by x(t)  te3t . Compute the Fourier
transform X () of the signal x(t) and plot for 20    20 rad/s.
a. The magnitude of X ()
b. The angle of X ()
c. The real part of X ()
d. The imaginary part of X()

Code Output
syms t w; >> lab11
x=t*exp(-3*t^2); f=
f=fourier(x,w)
ff=eval(f); -(3^(1/2)*pi^(1/2)*w*exp(-w^2/12)*i)/18
