• The Fourier series is named after Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier (1768–1830).
• A technique for expressing a periodic function in terms of sinusoids.
• Once the source function is expressed in terms of sinusoids, we can apply the phasor method to analyze circuits.
• Any practical periodic function can be represented as a sum of sinusoids. Such a representation, along with the
superposition theorem, allows us to find the response of circuits to arbitrary periodic inputs using phasor
techniques.
Two Types:
1. Trigonometric Fourier series.
2. Exponential Fourier series. Task: Conversion from Trigonometric to exponential and vice-versa
A major task in Fourier series is the determination of the Fourier coefficients a0, an, and bn. The process of determining the
coefficients is called Fourier analysis
