Standard Solutions

For most common periodic waveforms, the Fourier series are listed in HLT, page 6, but may require some massaging to get them into a form suitable for your application.

An Example

We're going to use the classic ramp waveform as an example, with a period of 2ms and an equation:

v(t) = (50Vt) / 2ms = 2.5 * 107t

Since T = 2ms, w = 2p / 2ms = 106 p. The corresponding waveform in HLT is the odd function

x(q) = A (1 - q / 2p)

which we can make the same as ours by setting A = -50V, q = 2pt / 2ms = 106pt and adding 50V. Therefore, we can do the same to the Fourier series, to generate

x(q) = 50 - 100/p(sin 106pt + 1/2 sin 2*106pt + 1/3 sin 3*106pt + ...)

et voíla.
