DTFS of 1 + sin + 3cos + cos(4πn/N + π/2)
Short answer
Using Euler expansion: a0=1, a1=1.5−j0.5 (magnitude 1.581, phase −18.43°), a_{-1}=1.5+j0.5 (1.581, +18.43°), a2=j0.5 (0.5, +90°), a_{-2}=−j0.5 (0.5, −90°). Other coefficients zero within period; all repeat every N.
Find and plot the Fourier series coefficients (magnitude and associated phase) for the following signal with period N. x[n] = 1 + sin((2π/N)n) + 3cos((2π/N)n) + cos((4π/N)n + π/2)
Fundamental frequency . Expand each term with Euler's formula and read off the coefficients of :
