Question
F(t) is a periodic square wave function as shown. It takes only two values, 4 and 0, and stays at each of these values for 1 second before changing. What is the constant term in the Fourier series expansion of F(t)?
Options :
1
2
3
4
Answer :
2
Solution :
f(t) is an even periodic function, Since
f(-t) = f(t)
The constant term in the Fourier series is: ao/2
l = 1
Since the function is not continious, we need to break the integral according to interval
from -1 to 0, f(t) = 0,
from 0 to 1, f(t) = 4
The constant term is :
= 4/2 = 2
