The Fourier coeffi cients a n , b n , and F n represent the degree of similarity between f(t)
and each of the frequency components nw 0 .
R.4.12 The relation between the exponential coeffi cients F n and the trigonometric coeffi cients a n s and b n s are as follows:

time domain by

R.4.14 The time function f(t) may be viewed as a current or a voltage that acts on a resistor
of 1 Ω (normalized).
Recall that

R.4.15 Parseval’s relation (also known as Parseval’s theorem) states that if f(t) is a real and
periodic function, then the average power denoted by P ave may be conveniently
evaluated in the frequency domain by

Note that the evaluation of P ave in the frequency domain is much easier than in the
time domain, since integration is substituted by the summation. Observe that P ave
can be easily evaluated if the coeffi cients F n are known by using MATLAB in the
following way:
Let
F = [F −n F −n+1 … F −1 F 0 F 1 … F n ]
Then P ave = F * F′.
