Fourier Series
Fourier series→ representing any periodic signal as a sum of infinite sines and cosines are
known as Fourier series representation.

For this signal, f(t) = f(t + T) = f(t + 2T) = f(t − T) = f(t − 2T)
So, f(t) = f(t ± kT)
Where, k is any Non-zero integer
For Even Symmetry → when f(t) is an Even Signal. i.e. f(t) = f(−t) then −bn is zero always.
bn = 0
If f(t) = cos ωt, ⇒ bn = 0
For odd symmetry → when f(t) is an odd signal.
i. e. f(−t) = −f(t)then an is zero always
an = 0
If f(t) = sin ωt ⇒ an = 0

an = 0 Since, sin(2nπ) = sin (nπ) = sin(0) = 0
Note: Even, After looking at waveform only, we can say an = 0 because the waveform have
