Find dBV of One-Sided Fourier Coefficients for Rectangular Pulse Train

AI Thread Summary
To find the dBV of the one-sided Fourier coefficients for a rectangular pulse train with specified parameters, the Fourier coefficients can be calculated using the amplitude of the harmonics. The discussion clarifies that n refers to the harmonic number and emphasizes the importance of considering rise and fall times, which are assumed to be zero in this case. This assumption leads to the classic odd harmonic fall-off characteristic. The relevant equation for calculating the Fourier coefficients is not explicitly stated but is implied to follow standard Fourier series principles. Understanding these coefficients is essential for analyzing the signal's frequency domain representation.

A rectangular pulse train with peak-to-peak amplitude A = 2V (peak amplitudes are +/- 1V), period T0 = 1ms, pulse width a = 0.5ms, dc offset zero volt.

How do you find the dBV of the one-sided Fourier coefficients cn for 0 ≤ n ≤ 12?

n refers to the harmonic #? Is the Fourier coefficient just the amplitude of the harmonic?

You need the rise and fall times as well. Are those given in the problem statement?
 
I guess if they are assuming zero rise and fall times, you get the classic odd harmonic fall-off, right? What is the equation for that?

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
