Given the figure shown below calculate the Fourier series representation to at least 5th harmonics of its fundamental frequency. Take note please integrate over the whole cycle and show your detailed solution.

Solution

Let's break down the problem step by step.

The Problem:

You are asked to calculate the Fourier series representation of the given function f(t)f(t) from the graph, up to at least the 5th harmonic of its fundamental frequency. You are required to integrate over the whole cycle to determine the Fourier coefficients.

Understanding the Graph:

From the graph:

  • The function appears to be periodic with a period T=2πT = 2\pi.
  • f(t)f(t) has specific values at critical points:
    • f(0)=0f(0) = 0
    • f(π)=1f(\pi) = 1
    • f(2π)=0f(2\pi) = 0
    • f(3π)=1f(3\pi) = -1

Fourier Series:

The Fourier series for a periodic function f(t)f(t) with period T=2πT = 2\pi is given by:

f(t)=a0+n=1(ancos(nω0t)+bnsin(nω0t))f(t) = a_0 + \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \left( a_n \cos\left( n \omega_0 t \right) + b_n \sin\left( n \omega_0 t \right) \right) where ω0\omega_0 is the fundamental frequency, ω0=2πT\omega_0 = \frac{2\pi}{T}.

In this case, T=2πT = 2\pi, so ω0=1\omega_0 = 1.

The Fourier coefficients a0a_0, ana_n, and bnb_n are given
