Solution
The Laplace transform of a periodic signal with period is given by:where is the Laplace transform of the signal over the first period .
From the given figure, the first period of the square wave is:The Laplace transform of is:Now, substituting into the formula for :Using the identity :Therefore, the correct option is (B).
From the given figure, the first period of the square wave is:The Laplace transform of is:Now, substituting into the formula for :Using the identity :Therefore, the correct option is (B).
