Continous - Time Fourier Series: Time Reversal

The period T of a periodic signal x(t) remains unchanged when it goes through time reversal

$ x(-t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty a_k e^{-jk2\pi t/T} $

Substitute k = -m

y(t) = $ x(-t) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty a_{-m} e^{-jm2\pi t/T} $

Right-hand side of the equation has the form of a Fourier series synthesis equation for x(-t)

$ b_k = a-{-k} $
