Estimation of Fourier Coefficients of a Periodic Signal            

Procedure

[Passive Circuit diagram]
  1. Connect the circuit elements as mentioned below
    1-3 ,3-4 ,5-6, 8-7, 7-9, 10-2(ex:-Drag from 1 and click on 3. Connections are shown in simulator tab)

  2. 3 volt p-p sinusoidal voltage is applied at the input.Put R=100KΩ ,L=10mH, C=100nF.

  3. Switch on the oscilloscope by clicking "ON" button & click twice the Sine wave button for input signal & click on the"Output" button to observe the output.Channel & Channel2 button shows the input & output signals respectively. Dual, shows both of them.

  4. Change the Frequency of input signal by the Frequency knob from 100Hz to 100KHz & observe the corresponding output voltage signal.

  5. Click on Tableshow button each time after clicking on "output" button to see observation eachtime.

  6. Click on Plot button to see the frequency response plot(Gain(dB)vs.Frequency(Hz)).Click on Clear button to clear datas.

  7. Switch off the oscilloscope.Then again switch on.

  8. click on 'square wave' button & keep the frequency around 15KHz.click 'square output' to see first harmonic component & click on 'Tableshow' to have the fundamental Fourier series coefficient value

  9. Repeat the above step for square wave input of frequencies around 5KHz & 3.5KHz to have values of 3rd & 5th harmonic Fourier series co-efficients respectively.

  10. Switch off the oscilloscope.

  11. For above three steps keep L & C values 10 mH-10nF, 1mh-100nF, 0.1mH-1000nF each time before changing the frequencies.Each time readings should be taken for three sets of values of L and C.
