Small but pressing Fourier series question

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a Fourier series problem where the user is attempting to derive the function x(t) using the formula for Fourier coefficients. Initially, the user calculates x(t) but realizes there is a discrepancy in the expected result, specifically regarding the pulse height. They conclude that the pulse height should be 1/2a instead of 1, which clarifies the confusion. Additionally, the user mentions encountering another related problem and provides a link for further assistance. The focus remains on resolving the Fourier series calculation and understanding the implications of the pulse height adjustment.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


ck = 1/T ∫ a-a x(t).e-jk2pit/T

So x(t) = Ʃk=-∞ (sin(k.a.2pi/T).a-a e-jk2pit/T)/k.pi

but is is supposed to be:

So x(t) = Ʃk=-∞ (sin(k.a.2pi/T).a-a e-jk2pit/T)/k.pi.2.a

but I don't know why?

Thanks
