Description
1. Linear Differential Equations with Laplace Transforms A system S has the following IPOP:

4. Fourier series representation
Fourier proposed to represent a periodic signal as a sum of sinusoids, perhaps an infinite number of them. For instance, consider the representation of a periodic signal x(t) as a sum of cosines of
different frequencies
∞
x(t) = Ak cos (Ωkt + θk)
k=0
(a) If x(t) is periodic of period T0, what should the frequencies Ωk be?
(b) Consider x(t) = 2 + cos(2πt) − 3 cos(6πt + π/4). Is this signal periodic? If so, what is its period T0 ? Determine its trigonometric Fourier series as given above by specifying the values of Ak and θk for all values of k = 0, 1, . . .
(c) Let the signal x1(t) = 2 + cos(2πt) − 3 cos(20t + π/4) (this signal is almost like x(t) given above, except that the frequency 6πrad/sec of the second cosine has been approximated by
20rad/sec ). Is this signal periodic? Can you determine its Fourler series as given above by specifying the values of Ak and θk, for all values of k = 0, 1, . . . ? Explain.
