An easy signal to compute is a sine or cosine based function. I'm trying to look around and find something less trivial but all i can find is functions that are just sums of complex exponentials, and i can't find something that involves an integral, nor can i find a formula in my notesI'll ask in class Wednesday

DT Signal Fourier Coefficients

Let's make up a signal.

$ x[0] = 0 $

$ x[1] = 1 $

$ x[2] = 1 $

$ x[3] = 0 $

$ x[4] = x[0] $ etc, the function is periodic with period 4

Using the formula

$ x[n] = \sum_{k=0}^{N-1} a_k e^{jk \frac{2 \pi}{N} n} $, where $ a_k = \frac{1}{N} \sum_{r=0}^{N-1} x[r] e^{-jk \frac{2 \pi}{N} r} $

Since the period is 4, N=4.

$ x[n] = \sum_{k=0}^{3} a_k e^{jk \frac{2 \pi}{4} n} $, where $ a_k = \frac{1}{4} \sum_{r=0}^{3} x[r] e^{-jk \frac{2 \pi}{4} r} $
