Continuous Time Fourier Series of cosine equation

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on finding the Continuous Time Fourier Series (CTFS) harmonic function for the signal 2*cos(100*pi(t - 0.005)) with a fundamental period T = 1/50. The initial solution derived was Cx[k] = (delta[k - 1] + delta[k + 1])*e^(-j*0.5*pi*k). However, the final solution from the solution manual simplifies this to Cx[k] = j*(delta[k - 1] + delta[k + 1]). The key question raised is the method of simplification from the first to the second expression.

Homework Statement


Using the CTFS table of transforms and the CTFS properties, find the CTFS harmonic function of the signal

2*cos(100*pi(t - 0.005))

T = 1/50

Homework Equations



To = fundamental period

T = mTo

cos(2*pi*k/To) ----F.S./mTo---- (1/2)(delta[k-m] + delta[k+m])

The Attempt at a Solution



using the table of pairs and CTFS properties, the solution I arrived to was:

1) Cx[k] = (delta[k - 1] + delta[k+1])*e^(-j*0.5*pi*k)

My solution is right but the final solution from the solution manual there's one more step to simplify it even more:

2) Cx[k] = j*(delta[k - 1] + delta[k+1])How did they go from (1) to (2) ?
