Notation:
• In this assignment, the Fourier series coefficients of continuous-time periodic signals x(t),
y(t) and z(t) are denoted by ak , bk and ck respectively, that is,
FS
x(t) ←−−−−→ ak ,
FS
y(t) ←−−−−→ bk ,
FS
z(t) ←−−−−→ ck ,
FS
where the shorthand notation ←−−−−→ is adopted to relate the signal with its Fourier
series coefficients.
