6. Fourier series, Fourier and Laplace transforms
The basic theory for the description of periodic signals was formulated by Jean-Baptiste Fourier (1768-1830) in the beginning of the 19th century. Fourier showed that an arbitrary periodic function could be written as a sum of sine and cosine functions. This is the basis for the transformation of time histories into the frequency domain and all kinds of digital frequency analysis.

are all periodic for an integer m over the time T. The functions have m whole periods over the time T. Fourier showed that the arbitrary periodic function x(t) may be written as an infinite sum of those sine and cosine functions.

To get simpler formulas let =T2 and (6-3) becomes:

To get the coefficients, multiply both sides in (6-4) by cos(nt) with n an integer. Then:

We now integrate both sides of (6-5) over the time interval (0, T). All trigonometric functions on the right side have a whole number of periods in the interval, and (nearly) all terms in the integral will become zero. But there is one exception. If we choose n = m, cos((n-m)t) = 1 in the whole interval, and we will get from the right hand side:

For n = 0, which corresponds to the mean value of the signal, we will get a special case,
and we write this term 20a . We have then arrived at the formula for the Fourier series:

We note, that the only thing we have used in the derivation of the formula is the fact that most of the terms in the integrals turn out to be zero. This is called orthogonality, the functions are said to be orthogonal. This is mathematically equivalent with the same concept for vectors, and the scalar product for vectors then corresponds to the integral of the multiplied functions. We may write:

This is called a generalised Fourier series, and is a widely used concept in many disciplines. In figure 6-1 the successive approximation with Fourier series to a square wave is shown.

If we let the numbers in the Fourier series get very large, we get a phenomenon, called Gibbs phenomenon, see figure 6-2.

We now know, that a periodic signal may be written as a Fourier series. In the sum there are terms of the type:
)tsin(b)tcos(a)t(s += (6-11) We may write s(t) in a different way:

In the Fourier series we find, that the frequencies appear as multiplies of the basic frequency (1/T). The basic frequency is called the fundamental, while the multiples are called harmonics. Fourier analysis is often called harmonic analysis. A periodic signal

may then be described with its fundamental and harmonics. For each frequency you give the frequency, the amplitude and the phase, alternatively, you give the sine and cosine components.

This is called the complex Fourier series. Please note, that the summation now also covers negative indices, we have negative frequencies. We are not yet putting any physical meaning to those frequencies; we just use the compact mathematical notation.
6.3 Fourier Transform
For a function x(t), defined for all time t, we define the Fourier transform F(f) by:
+
= dte)t(x)(X ti (6-18)
F is a complex-valued function of the variable f, frequency, and is defined for all frequencies. As the function is complex, it may be described by a real and an imaginary part or with magnitude and phase, as with any complex number. The definition integral does not converge for all possible functions x(t), see the special literature on the subject. If the Fourier transform exists, there is an inverse transform formula:
+
+= de)(X
21)t(x ti (6-19)
The transform pair is very symmetric, the only difference being the sign of the exponent and the factor 21 in (3-19). We give an example of a Fourier transform:

The example given here results in a real Fourier transform, which stems from the fact that x(t) is placed symmetrical around time zero. We give another example:
