Fourier Series and Integrals Fourier Series Fourier Series and Integrals Fourier Series Let f(x) be a piecewise linear function on [ L,L] (This means that f(x) may possess a finite number of finite discontinuities on the interval).− Then f(x) can be expanded in a Fourier series a ∞ nπx nπx f(x) = 0 + a cos + b sin , (1a) 2 n L n L n=1 X or, equivalently, ∞ inπx/L f(x) = cne (1b) X−∞ with (an ibn)/2 n < 0 c = (a +− ib )/2 n > 0 . n n n a0/2 n =0 A useful schematic form of the Fourier series is f~(x) = (ancˆn + bnsˆn). (2) n X This emphasizes that the Fourier series can be viewed as an expansion of a vector f~ in Hilbert space, in a basis that is spanned by thec ˆn (cosine waves of different periodicities) and thes ˆn (sine waves). nπx nπx To invert the Fourier expansion, multiply Eq. (1) by cos L or sin L and integrate over the interval. For this calculation, we need the basic orthogonality relation of the basis functions: L nπx mπx cos cos dx = δmnL, (3) L L L Z− and similarly for the sin’s. Intuitively, for n = m, there is destructive interference of the two factors in the integrand, while for n = m,6 there is constructive interference. nπx Thus by multiplying Eq. (1) by cos L and integrating, we obtain L L mπx a ∞ nπx nπx mπx f(x) cos dx = 0 + a cos + b cos dx, (4) L 2 n L n L L L L " 1 # Z− Z− X from which we find 1 L nπx an = f(x) cos dx. (5a) L L L Z− Similarly, the bn’s may be found to be 1 L nπx bn = f(x) sin dx. (5b) L L L Z− 1 The inversion of the Fourier series can be viewed as finding the projections of f~ along each basis direction. Schematically, therefore, the inversion can be represented as f~ cˆ = (a cˆ + b sˆ ) cˆ = a δ = a , (6a) · m n n n n · m n nm m n X X which implies a = f~ cˆ . (6b) m · n These steps parallel the calculation that led to Eq. (5). This schematic representation emphasizes that the Fourier decomposition of a function is completely analogous to the expansion of a vector in Hilbert space in an orthogonal basis. The components of the vector correspond to the various Fourier amplitudes defined in Eqs. (5a) and (5b). Examples: 1. Square Wave f(x) h x -2L-L 0 L 2L 3L Clearly f(x) is an odd function: f(x) = f( x). Hence − − 1 L nπx an = f(x) cos dx =0 n L L L ∀ Z− As a result, the spectral information of the square wave is entirely contained in the bn’s. These coefficients are 1 L nπx 2h L nπx 2h bn = f(x) sin dx = sin dx = (1 cos nπ), L L L L 0 L nπ − Z− Z from which we find b = 4h/nπ n odd . n 0 n even n Thus the square wave can be written as a Fourier sine series 4h πx 1 3πx 1 5πx f(x) = sin + sin + sin + . (7) π L 3 L 5 L ··· There are a number of important general facts about this expansion that are worth em- phasizing: Since f(x) is odd, only odd powers of the antisymmetric basis functions appear. • 2 At the discontinuities of f(x), the Fourier series converges to the mean of the two • values of f(x) on either side of the discontinuity. A picture of first few terms of the series demonstrates the nature of the convergence • to the square wave; each successive term in the series attempts to correct for the “overshoot” present in the sum of all the previous terms one term two terms three terms ten terms The amplitude spectrum decays as 1/n; this indicates that a square wave can be • well-represented by the fundamental frequency plus the first few harmonics. By examining the series for particular values of x, useful summation formulae may • sometimes be found. For example, setting x = L/2 in the Fourier sine series gives 4h π 1 3π 1 5π f(x = L/2) = h = sin + sin + sin + π 2 3 2 5 2 ··· and this leads to a nice (but slowly converging) series representation for π/4: π = (1 1/3+1/5 1/7+1/9 ). 4 − − ··· Alternatively we may represent the square wave as an even function. 3 f(x) h x -2L-L 0 L 2L 3L Now f(x) = +f( x). By symmetry, then, bn =0 n, and only the an’s are non-zero. For these coefficients− we find ∀ 1 L nπx 2 L nπx an = f(x) cos = f(x) cos L L L L 0 L Z− Z 2h L/2 nπx L nπx = cos dx cos dx L L − L "Z0 ZL/2 # 2h nπ/2 nπ = cost dt cost dt nπ − "Z0 Znπ/2 # 2h = sint nπ/2 sint nπ nπ |0 − |nπ/2 4hh (n 1)/2 i = nπ ( 1) − n odd . 0 − n even Hence f(x) can be also represented as the Fourier cosine series 4h πx 1 3πx 1 5πx f(x) = cos cos + cos . (8) π L − 3 L 5 L ··· This example illustrates the use of symmetry in determining a Fourier series, even function cosine series −→ odd function sine series −→ no symmetry both sine and cosine series −→ Thus it is always simpler to choose an origin so that f(x) has a definite symmetry, so that it can be represented by either a sin or cosine series 2. Repeated Parabola This is the periodic extension of the function x2, in the range [ π,π], to the entire real line. Given any function defined on the interval [a,b], the periodic extension− may be constructed in a similar fashion. In general, we can Fourier expand any function on a finite range; the Fourier series will converge to the periodic extension of the function. 4 −3π −π π 3π The Fourier expansion of the repeated parabola gives b =0 n n ∀ π 2 1 2 2π a0 = x dx = π π 3 Z− 2 π 4 a = x2 cos nx dx =( 1)n n π − n2 Z0 Thus we can represent the repeated parabola as a Fourier cosine series π2 ∞ ( 1)n f(x) = x2 = +4 − cos nx. (9) 3 n2 n=1 X Notice several interesting facts: The a0 term represents the average value of the function. For this example, this • average is non-zero. Since f is even, the Fourier series has only cosine terms. • There are no discontinuities in f, but first derivative is discontinuous; this implies that • the amplitude spectrum decays as 1/n2. In general, the “smoother” the function, the faster the decay of the amplitude spectrum as a function of n. Consequently, progressively fewer terms in the Fourier series are needed to represent the waveform to a fixed degree of accuracy. Setting x = π in the series gives • π2 ∞ ( 1)n π2 = +4 − cos nπ 3 n2 n=1 X from which we find π2 ∞ 1 = 6 n2 n=1 X This provides an indirect, but simple, way to sum inverse powers of the integers. One simply Fourier expands the function xk on the interval [ π,π] and then evaluates the k − z series at x = π from which n∞=1 n− can be computed. The sum n∞=1 n− ζ(z), is called the Riemann zeta function, and by this Fourier series trick the zeta function≡ can be evaluated for all positiveP integer values of z. P 5 In summary, a Fourier series represents a spectral decomposition of a periodic waveform into a series of harmonics of various frequencies. From the relative amplitudes of these harmonics we can gain understanding of the physical process underlying the waveform. For example, one perceives in an obvious way the different tonal quality of an oboe and a violin. The origin of this difference are the very different Fourier spectra of these two instruments. Even if the same note is being played, the different “shapes” of the two instruments (string for the violin; air column for the oboe) imply very different contributions of higher harmonics. This translates into very different respective Fourier spectra, and hence, very different musical tones. Fourier Integrals For non-periodic functions, we generalize the Fourier series to functions defined on [ L,L] with L . To accomplish this, we take Eq. (5), − →∞ 1 L nπx an = f(x) cos dk L L L Z− and now let k = nπ/L ndk. Then as L , we obtain ≡ →∞ ∞ A(k) a L = f(x) cos kxdx (10a) ≡ n Z−∞ and, by following the same procedure, ∞ B(k) b L = f(x) sin kxdx (10b) ≡ n Z−∞ Now the original Fourier series becomes nπx nπx f(x) = a cos + b sin n L n L n X (11a) A(k) B(k) 1 ∞ = cos kx + sin kx A(k) cos kxdk + B(k) sin kxdk. L L → π n k=0 X Z By using the exponential form of the Fourier series, we have the alternative, but more familiar and convenient Fourier integral representation of f(x), 1 ∞ f(x) = f(k)eikx dk. (11b) √2π Z−∞ Where the (arbitrary) prefactor is chosen to be 1/√2π for convenience, as the same pref- actor appears in the definition of the inverse Fourier transform. In symbolic form, the Fourier integral can be represented as f~ = fkeˆk.

Modulation Modulation refers to the process of embedding an information-bearing signal into a second carrier signal. Extracting the information- bearing signal is called demodulation. Modulation allows us to transmit information signals efficiently. It also makes possible the simultaneous transmission of more than one signal with overlapping spectra over the same channel. That is why we can have so many channels being broadcast on radio at the same time which would have been impossible without modulation There are several ways in which modulation is done. One technique is amplitude modulation or AM in which the information signal is used to modulate the amplitude of the carrier signal. Another important technique is frequency modulation or FM, in which the information signal is used to vary the frequency of the carrier signal. Let us consider a very simple example of AM. Consider the signal x(t) which has the spectrum X(f) as shown : Why such a spectrum ? Because it's the simplest possible multi-valued function.

  • B1. Fourier Analysis of Discrete Time Signals
    B1. Fourier Analysis of Discrete Time Signals Objectives • Introduce discrete time periodic signals • Define the Discrete Fourier Series (DFS) expansion of periodic signals • Define the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) of signals with finite length • Determine the Discrete Fourier Transform of a complex exponential 1. Introduction In the previous chapter we defined the concept of a signal both in continuous time (analog) and discrete time (digital). Although the time domain is the most natural, since everything (including our own lives) evolves in time, it is not the only possible representation. In this chapter we introduce the concept of expanding a generic signal in terms of elementary signals, such as complex exponentials and sinusoids. This leads to the frequency domain representation of a signal in terms of its Fourier Transform and the concept of frequency spectrum so that we characterize a signal in terms of its frequency components. First we begin with the introduction of periodic signals, which keep repeating in time. For these signals it is fairly easy to determine an expansion in terms of sinusoids and complex exponentials, since these are just particular cases of periodic signals. This is extended to signals of a finite duration which becomes the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), one of the most widely used algorithms in Signal Processing. The concepts introduced in this chapter are at the basis of spectral estimation of signals addressed in the next two chapters. 2.

  • Lecture 7: Fourier Series and Complex Power Series 1 Fourier
    Math 1d Instructor: Padraic Bartlett Lecture 7: Fourier Series and Complex Power Series Week 7 Caltech 2013 1 Fourier Series 1.1 Definitions and Motivation Definition 1.1. A Fourier series is a series of functions of the form 1 C X + (a sin(nx) + b cos(nx)) ; 2 n n n=1 where C; an; bn are some collection of real numbers. The first, immediate use of Fourier series is the following theorem, which tells us that they (in a sense) can approximate far more functions than power series can: Theorem 1.2. Suppose that f(x) is a real-valued function such that • f(x) is continuous with continuous derivative, except for at most finitely many points in [−π; π]. • f(x) is periodic with period 2π: i.e. f(x) = f(x ± 2π), for any x 2 R. C P1 Then there is a Fourier series 2 + n=1 (an sin(nx) + bn cos(nx)) such that 1 C X f(x) = + (a sin(nx) + b cos(nx)) : 2 n n n=1 In other words, where power series can only converge to functions that are continu- ous and infinitely differentiable everywhere the power series is defined, Fourier series can converge to far more functions! This makes them, in practice, a quite useful concept, as in science we'll often want to study functions that aren't always continuous, or infinitely differentiable. A very specific application of Fourier series is to sound and music! Specifically, re- call/observe that a musical note with frequency f is caused by the propogation of the lon- gitudinal wave sin(2πft) through some medium.

LONGMAN Department of Geophysics and Planetary Sciences, Tel Aviv University, Ramat Aviv, Israel Received 27 July 1984 Abstract: The well-known correspondence of a power series with a certain Stieltjes integral is exploited for summation of the series by numerical integration. The emphasis in this paper is thus on actual summation of series. rather than mere acceleration of convergence. It is assumed that the coefficients of the series are given analytically, and then the numerator of the integrand is determined by the aid of the inverse of the two-sided Laplace transform, while the denominator is standard (and known) for all power series. Since Fourier series can be expressed in terms of power series, the method is applicable also to them. The treatment is extended to divergent series, and a fair number of numerical examples are given, in order to illustrate various techniques for the numerical evaluation of the resulting integrals.

  • Fourier Analysis
    Chapter 1 Fourier analysis In this chapter we review some basic results from signal analysis and processing. We shall not go into detail and assume the reader has some basic background in signal analysis and processing. As basis for signal analysis, we use the Fourier transform. We start with the continuous Fourier transformation. But in applications on the computer we deal with a discrete Fourier transformation, which introduces the special effect known as aliasing. We use the Fourier transformation for processes such as convolution, correlation and filtering. Some special attention is given to deconvolution, the inverse process of convolution, since it is needed in later chapters of these lecture notes. 1.1 Continuous Fourier Transform. The Fourier transformation is a special case of an integral transformation: the transforma- tion decomposes the signal in weigthed basis functions. In our case these basis functions are the cosine and sine (remember exp(iφ) = cos(φ) + i sin(φ)). The result will be the weight functions of each basis function. When we have a function which is a function of the independent variable t, then we can transform this independent variable to the independent variable frequency f via: +1 A(f) = a(t) exp( 2πift)dt (1.1) −∞ − Z In order to go back to the independent variable t, we define the inverse transform as: +1 a(t) = A(f) exp(2πift)df (1.2) Z−∞ Notice that for the function in the time domain, we use lower-case letters, while for the frequency-domain expression the corresponding uppercase letters are used. A(f) is called the spectrum of a(t).

Polynomials: a simple case Let’s look at a simple case first. Consider the space of real valued polynomial functions P. If f 2 P, we have X1 i f(z) = aiz i=0 where ai = 0 for i sufficiently large. There is an obvious linear map a : P! c00(R) where c00(R) is the space of sequences that are eventually zero. i For each integer i, we have a projection map ai : c00(R) ! R so that ai(f) is the coefficient of z for f 2 P. Since P is a ring under addition and multiplication of functions, these operations must be reflected on the other side of the map a. 1 Clearly we can add sequences in c00(R) componentwise, and since addition of polynomials is also componentwise we have: a(f + g) = a(f) + a(g) What about multiplication? We know that X Xn X1 an(fg) = ar(f)as(g) = ar(f)an−r(g) = ar(f)an−r(g) r+s=n r=0 r=0 where we adopt the convention that ai(f) = 0 if i < 0.

  • Fourier Series of Functions of A-Bounded Variation
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 74, Number 1, April 1979 FOURIER SERIES OF FUNCTIONS OF A-BOUNDED VARIATION DANIEL WATERMAN1 Abstract. It is shown that the Fourier coefficients of functions of A- bounded variation, A = {A„}, are 0(Kn/n). This was known for \, = n&+l, — 1 < ß < 0. The classes L and HBV are shown to be complementary, but L and ABV are not complementary if ABV is not contained in HBV. The partial sums of the Fourier series of a function of harmonic bounded variation are shown to be uniformly bounded and a theorem analogous to that of Dirichlet is shown for this class of functions without recourse to the Lebesgue test. We have shown elsewhere that functions of harmonic bounded variation (HBV) satisfy the Lebesgue test for convergence of their Fourier series, but if a class of functions of A-bounded variation (ABV) is not properly contained in HBV, it contains functions whose Fourier series diverge [1]. We have also shown that Fourier series of functions of class {nB+x} — BV, -1 < ß < 0, are (C, ß) bounded, implying that the Fourier coefficients are 0(nB) [2]. Here we shall estimate the Fourier coefficients of functions in ABV. Without recourse to the Lebesgue test, we shall prove a theorem for functions of HBV analogous to that of Dirichlet and also show that the partial sums of the Fourier series of an HBV function are uniformly bounded. From this one can conclude that L and HBV are complementary classes, i.e., Parseval's formula holds (with ordinary convergence) for/ G L and g G HBV.

  • Extended Fourier Analysis of Signals
    Dr.sc.comp. Vilnis Liepiņš Email: [email protected] Extended Fourier analysis of signals Abstract. This summary of the doctoral thesis [8] is created to emphasize the close connection of the proposed spectral analysis method with the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), the most extensively studied and frequently used approach in the history of signal processing. It is shown that in a typical application case, where uniform data readings are transformed to the same number of uniformly spaced frequencies, the results of the classical DFT and proposed approach coincide. The difference in performance appears when the length of the DFT is selected greater than the length of the data. The DFT solves the unknown data problem by padding readings with zeros up to the length of the DFT, while the proposed Extended DFT (EDFT) deals with this situation in a different way, it uses the Fourier integral transform as a target and optimizes the transform basis in the extended frequency set without putting such restrictions on the time domain. Consequently, the Inverse DFT (IDFT) applied to the result of EDFT returns not only known readings, but also the extrapolated data, where classical DFT is able to give back just zeros, and higher resolution are achieved at frequencies where the data has been extrapolated successfully. It has been demonstrated that EDFT able to process data with missing readings or gaps inside or even nonuniformly distributed data. Thus, EDFT significantly extends the usability of the DFT based methods, where previously these approaches have been considered as not applicable [10-45]. The EDFT founds the solution in an iterative way and requires repeated calculations to get the adaptive basis, and this makes it numerical complexity much higher compared to DFT.
