Trigonometric Fourier SeriesA periodic function can be represented over a certain interval of time in terms of the linear combination of orthogonal functions. If these orthogonal functions are the trigonometric functions, then it is known as trigonometric Fourier series.Mathematically, the standard trigonometric Fourier series expansion of a periodic signal is, $$\mathrm{x(t)=a_{0}+ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}a_{n}\:cos\:\omega_{0}nt+b_{n}\:sin\:\omega_{0}nt\:\:… (1)}$$Exponential Fourier SeriesA periodic function can be represented over a certain interval of time in terms of the linear combination of orthogonal functions, if these orthogonal functions are the exponential functions, then it is known as exponential Fourier series.Mathematically, the standard exponential Fourier series expansion for a periodic ...

If$$\mathrm{x_{1}(t)\overset{FS}{\leftrightarrow}C_{n}}$$$$\mathrm{x_{2}(t)\overset{FS}{\leftrightarrow}D_{n}}$$Then, the modulation or multiplication property of continuous time Fourier series states, that$$\mathrm{x_{1}(t)\cdot x_{2}(t)\overset{FS}{\leftrightarrow}\sum_{k=−\infty}^{\infty}C_{k}\:D_{n-k}}$$Proof From the definition of continuous time Fourier series, we get, $$\mathrm{FS[x_{1}(t)\cdot x_{2}(t)]=\frac{1}{T}\int_{t_{0}}^{t_{0}+T}[x_{1}(t)\cdot x_{2}(t)]e^{-jn\omega_{0} t}dt}$$$$\mathrm{\Rightarrow\:FS[x_{1}(t)\cdot x_{2}(t)]=\frac{1}{T}\int_{t_{0}}^{t_{0}+T}x_{1}(t)\left (\sum_{k=−\infty}^{\infty} C_{k} e^{jk\omega_{0} t}\right )e^{-jn\omega_{0} t}dt}$$$$\mathrm{\Rightarrow\:FS[x_{1}(t)\cdot x_{2}(t)]=\frac{1}{T}\int_{t_{0}}^{t_{0}+T}x_{1}(t)\left (\sum_{k=−\infty}^{\infty} C_{k} e^{-j(n-k)\omega_{0} t}\right )e^{-jn\omega_{0} ...

Fourier TransformThe Fourier transform of a continuous-time function $x(t)$ can be defined as, $$\mathrm{X(\omega)=\int_{−\infty}^{\infty}x(t)e^{-j\omega t}dt}$$Modulation Property of Fourier TransformStatement – The modulation property of continuous-time Fourier transform states that if a continuous-time function $x(t)$ is multiplied by $cos \:\omega_{0} t$, then its frequency spectrum gets translated up and down in frequency by $\omega_{0}$. Therefore, if$$\mathrm{x(t)\overset{FT}{\leftrightarrow}X(\omega)}$$Then, according to the modulation property of CTFT, $$\mathrm{x(t)\:cos\:\omega_{0}t\overset{FT}{\leftrightarrow}\frac{1}{2}[X(\omega-\omega_{0})+X(\omega+\omega_{0})]}$$ProofUsing Euler’s formula, we get, $$\mathrm{cos\:\omega_{0}t=\left [\frac{e^{j\omega_{0} t}+e^{-j\omega_{0} t}}{2} \right ]}$$Therefore, $$\mathrm{x(t)\:cos\:\omega_{0}t=x(t)\left [ \frac{e^{j\omega_{0} t}+e^{-j\omega_{0} t}}{2}\right ]}$$Now, from the definition of Fourier transform, we have, $$\mathrm{F[x(t)]=X(\omega)=\int_{−\infty}^{\infty}x(t)e^{-j\omega_{0} t} \:dt}$$$$\mathrm{\Rightarrow\:F[x(t)\:cos\:\omega_{0} t]=\int_{−\infty}^{\infty}x(t)\:cos\:\omega_{0} t\:e^{-j\omega_{0} t}dt}$$$$\mathrm{\Rightarrow\:F[x(t)\:cos\:\omega_{0} t]=\int_{−\infty}^{\infty}x(t)\left [ \frac{e^{j\omega_{0} t}+e^{-j\omega_{0} t}}{2}\right ]e^{-j\omega t}dt}$$$$\mathrm{\Rightarrow\:F[x(t)\:cos\:\omega_{0} ...

What is GIBBS Phenomenon?The GIBBS phenomenon was discovered by Henry Wilbraham in 1848 and then rediscovered by J. Willard Gibbs in 1899.For a periodic signal with discontinuities, if the signal is reconstructed by adding the Fourier series, then overshoots appear around the edges. These overshoots decay outwards in a damped oscillatory manner away from the edges. This is known as GIBBS phenomenon and is shown in the figure below.The amount of the overshoots at the discontinuities is proportional to the height of discontinuity and according to Gibbs, it is found to be around 9% of the height of discontinuity irrespective ...
