Question
The exponential Fourier series representation of a continuous-time periodic signal is defined aswhere is the fundamental angular frequency of and the coefficients of the series are . The following information is given about and .I. is real and even, having a fundamental period of 6
II. The average value of is 2
III. The average power of the signal (rounded off to one decimal place) is ________.
II. The average value of is 2
III. The average power of the signal (rounded off to one decimal place) is ________.
Correct answer
31.9 to 32.1
Solution
1.The average power of a periodic signal with exponential Fourier series coefficients is given by Parseval's theorem:
2.From property I, is real and even, which implies and is real.
3.From property II, the average value of is .
4.From property III, the coefficients for are given as:
- for
- for
7.The average power of the signal is 32.0.
