Laboratory Report on Fourier Series Representation of Basic Signals and Addition of

Periodic Signals in MATLAB
Objective :
This laboratory report investigates the Fourier Series Representation of basic signals such as
square waves, triangular waves, and the addition of periodic signals in MATLAB. The
primary objective is to understand how to represent periodic signals using Fourier series and
to analyze the combined signals when they are added together. MATLAB is used as the
primary tool for signal generation, Fourier analysis, and visualization.
Introduction:
The Fourier series is a powerful mathematical tool for representing periodic signals in the
frequency domain. It allows us to break down complex signals into simpler sinusoidal
components, making it easier to analyze and manipulate them. In this laboratory experiment,
we will explore the representation of basic signals and examine the results of adding periodic
signals using MATLAB.
Experimental Setup & Procedure :
The experimental setup consists of MATLAB as the main tool for signal generation, Fourier
analysis, and visualization. The following sections outline the steps involved in this
experiment:
Fourier Series Representation of Square Wave Signal:
In this section, we aim to represent a square wave signal using the Fourier series. The
MATLAB code provided below is used to generate the representation and plot the results.
MATLAB code for Fourier Series Representation of Square Wave Signal:

end
a=((1)/(pi*k*1i)*(1-(exp(-pi*1i*k))));
x=a*exp(2*pi*1i*k.*t);
f=f+t;
