Let's break down the problem step by step! --- # Problem Analysis You have a **square wave** with amplitude \( V_ = 2V \), period \( T = 2\pi \), and a duty cycle of 50% (active for half the period). ## Square Wave Description \[ v(t) = \begin{cases} 2, & < t < \pi \\ , & \pi < t < 2\pi \\ \end{cases} \] and it repeats every \( 2\pi \). --- ## a) Fourier Series Expansion (Sine and Cosine) The general Fourier series for a periodic function \( v(t) \) of period \( T \) is: \[ v(t) = a_ + \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} [a_n \cos(n\omega_ t) + b_n \sin(n\omega_ t)] \] where \( \omega_ = \frac{2\pi}{T} = 1 \) (since \( T = 2\pi \)). ### Coefficients #### **DC Component \( a_ \):** \[ a_ = \frac{1}{T} \int_^T v(t) dt = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_^{\pi} 2 \, dt = \frac{1}{2\pi} (2\pi) = 1 \] #### **Cosine Coefficients \( a_n \):** \[ a_n = \frac{2}{T} \int_^T v(t) \cos(n\omega_ t) dt \] Only integrate over the interval where \( v(t) = 2 \): \[ a_n = \frac{2}{2\pi} \int_^{\pi} 2 \cos(nt) dt = \frac{2}{\pi} \int_^{\pi} \cos(nt) dt \] \[ \int_^{\pi} \cos(nt) dt = \left[ \frac{\sin(nt)}{n} \right]_^{\pi} = \frac{\sin(n\pi) - \sin()}{n} = \] So **all \( a_n = \)**. #### **Sine Coefficients \( b_n \):** \[ b_n = \frac{2}{T} \int_^T v(t) \sin(n\omega_ t) dt \] \[ b_n = \frac{2}{2\pi} \int_^{\pi} 2 \sin(nt) dt = \frac{2}{\pi} \int_^{\pi} \sin(nt) dt \] \[ \int_^{\pi} \sin(nt) dt = \left[ -\frac{\cos(nt)}{n} \right]_^{\pi} = -\frac{\cos(n\pi) - \cos()}{n} = \frac{1 - (-1)^n}{n} \] So: \[ b_n = \frac{2}{\pi} \cdot \frac{1 - (-1)^n}{n} \] - For **even \( n \)**: \( b_n = \) - For **odd \( n \)**: \( b_n = \frac{4}{n\pi} \) ### **Final Series (Sine and Cosine):** \[ v(t) = 1 + \sum_{n=1,3,5,...}^\infty \frac{4}{n\pi} \sin(nt) \] --- ## b) Amplitude-Phase Form Each term \( A_n \sin(n t + \phi_n) \): Since only sine terms are present, \( \phi_n = \): \[ v(t) = 1 + \sum_{n=1,3,5,...}^\infty A_n \sin(nt + ) \] where \( A_n = \frac{4}{n\pi} \) for odd \( n \). --- ## c) Amplitude and Phase Spectrum for First Four Harmonics First four harmonics: \( n = 1, 2, 3, 4 \). - \( n = 1: A_1 = \frac{4}{\pi}, \phi_1 = \) - \( n = 2: A_2 = \) - \( n = 3: A_3 = \frac{4}{3\pi}, \phi_3 = \) - \( n = 4: A_4 = \) **Plot:** - Amplitude spectrum: spikes at \( n=1, 3 \) with values above, zero otherwise. - Phase spectrum: zero at all nonzero amplitude frequencies. --- ## d) Average Power in 3 Ohm Resistor Power for each harmonic: \[ P_n = \frac{A_n^2}{2R} \] DC component: \[ P_ = \frac{a_^2}{R} \] Sum up for all present harmonics (DC, 1st, 3rd): \[ P = \frac{a_^2}{R} + \sum_{\text{odd } n=1,3} \frac{A_n^2}{2R} \] Plug in the values: - \( a_ = 1 \) - \( A_1 = \frac{4}{\pi} \) - \( A_3 = \frac{4}{3\pi} \) \[ P = \frac{1^2}{3} + \frac{1}{2 \times 3} \left[ \left(\frac{4}{\pi}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{4}{3\pi}\right)^2 \right] \] --- ## e) MATLAB Code to Regenerate the Signal ```matlab t = linspace(, 2*pi, 100); v = 2; v = 1 + (4/pi)*sin(t) + (4/(3*pi))*sin(3*t); % Using first four harmonics plot(t, v) xlabel('t') ylabel('v(t)') title('Fourier Series Approximation (First Four Harmonics)') grid on ``` --- ### **Summary Table** | Harmonic \( n \) | Amplitude \( A_n \) | Phase \( \phi_n \) | |------------------|-------------------------|--------------------| | (DC) | 1 | - | | 1 | \( \frac{4}{\pi} \) | | | 2 | | - | | 3 | \( \frac{4}{3\pi} \) | | | 4 | | - | --- Let me know if you need a more detailed calculation or graphical illustration!

# Summary Table of Fourier Series Components | Harmonic \( n \) | Amplitude \( A_n \) | Phase \( \phi_n \) | |------------------|-------------------------|--------------------| | DC | 1 | 0 | | 1 | \( \frac{4}{\pi} \) | \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) | | 2 | 0 | - | | 3 | \( \frac{4}{3\pi} \) | \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) | | 4 | 0 | - | ### Notes: - The DC component has an amplitude of 1 and a phase of 0. - Only odd harmonics (1 and 3) have non-zero amplitudes, with their respective phases at \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) due to the sine function being used. - Even harmonics (2 and 4) have zero amplitudes and, thus, no defined phase.

# Summary of Fourier Series Components For the given square wave, the following components summarize the Fourier series analysis: - **DC Component (n = 0)**: - Amplitude: 1 - Phase: 0 - **1st Harmonic (n = 1)**: - Amplitude: \( \frac{4}{\pi} \) - Phase: \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) - **2nd Harmonic (n = 2)**: - Amplitude: 0 - Phase: Not applicable - **3rd Harmonic (n = 3)**: - Amplitude: \( \frac{4}{3\pi} \) - Phase: \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) - **4th Harmonic (n = 4)**: - Amplitude: 0 - Phase: Not applicable ### Notes: - The DC component has an amplitude of 1 and a phase of 0. - Only the odd harmonics (1 and 3) have non-zero amplitudes, both with a phase of \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) due to the sine terms in the Fourier series expansion. - Even harmonics (2 and 4) have zero amplitudes, resulting in no defined phase.

# Probability Problem: Coin Tosses ## Problem Statement A box contains: - 3 fair coins (1 head, 1 tail) - 2 double-headed coins (2 heads) A coin is chosen at random and tossed 4 times, resulting in heads in all tosses. We need to find the probability that the chosen coin is double-headed. ## Definitions Let: - \( C_F \): event of choosing a fair coin - \( C_D \): event of choosing a double-headed coin - \( H \): event of tossing 4 heads ## Given Information - Total coins: 5 (3 fair + 2 double-headed) - Probability of choosing a fair coin: \[ P(C_F) = \frac{3}{5} \] - Probability of choosing a double-headed coin: \[ P(C_D) = \frac{2}{5} \] ## Probability of Tossing Heads ### For Fair Coin The probability of getting heads in one toss is \( \frac{1}{2} \). Therefore, for 4 tosses: \[ P(H | C_F) = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^4 = \frac{1}{16} \] ### For Double-Headed Coin The probability of getting heads in one toss is \( 1 \). Therefore, for 4 tosses: \[ P(H | C_D) = 1^4 = 1 \] ## Using Bayes' Theorem We need to find \( P(C_D | H) \): \[ P(C_D | H) = \frac{P(H | C_D) P(C_D)}{P(H)} \] ### Calculate \( P(H) \) Using the law of total probability: \[ P(H) = P(H | C_F) P(C_F) + P(H | C_D) P(C_D) \] Substituting values: \[ P(H) = \left(\frac{1}{16} \cdot \frac{3}{5}\right) + \left(1 \cdot \frac{2}{5}\right) \] \[ = \frac{3}{80} + \frac{2}{5} \] Converting \( \frac{2}{5} \) to a fraction with a denominator of 80: \[ \frac{2}{5} = \frac{32}{80} \] Thus, \[ P(H) = \frac{3}{80} + \frac{32}{80} = \frac{35}{80} = \frac{7}{16} \] ### Final Calculation Now substitute back into Bayes' theorem: \[ P(C_D | H) = \frac{P(H | C_D) P(C_D)}{P(H)} = \frac{1 \cdot \frac{2}{5}}{\frac{7}{16}} \] Calculating: \[ = \frac{\frac{2}{5}}{\frac{7}{16}} = \frac{2}{5} \cdot \frac{16}{7} = \frac{32}{35} \] ## Conclusion The probability that the chosen coin is double-headed, given that all 4 tosses resulted in heads, is: \[ \boxed{\frac{32}{35}} \]
