Intended as a textbook for electronic circuit analysis or a reference for practicing engineers, the book uses a self-study format with hundreds of worked examples to master difficult mathematic topics and circuit design issues. Computer programs using PSpice and MATLAB on the accompanying CD-ROM provide calculations and executables for visualizing and solving applications from industry. It covers the complex mathematical topics and concepts needed to understand and solve serious circuits problems.
Chapter 14 - Fouier Analysis
14.1 INTRODUCTION
The Fourier series technique was developed by the French mathematician
Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier (1768–1830). The Fourier series is a mathematical
technique used for analyzing periodic functions by decomposing such a
function into a weighted sum of simpler sinusoidal components.
In a simple way we can say, “A Fourier series is an expansion of a periodic
function f (t) in terms of an infinite sum of sines and cosines”.
