In this project, a matlab function will be used to show how a finite number of Fourier Series coefficients can approximate a periodic signal.

When there are only 1 non-zero term, the time and frequency domain are shown below:

+
When 2 non-zero terms
+
+
+
When 5 non-zeros terms
+
+
+
When there are 25 non-zero terms
+
+
+
Conclusion: From the above diagrams we are able to distinguish that: As the number of Fourier Series Coefficients increases, the output of approximated periodic signal is more accurate.

+
A circuit is built to measure the Fourier series  of a Square wave
+
+
For example, we set s(t) to be square wave with A = 3V, T0 = 0.5*10^-6s
+
The frequency domain of output shown in spectrum analyzer will be:
+
+
The time domain of output shown in oscilloscope will be:
