CHAPTER OBJECTIVES
• This chapter (i) explains how a periodic
waveform can be expanded in terms of sinu-
soids and why such an expansion is necessary,
(ii) shows how such an expansion may be
obtained for a given periodic waveform and
(iii) shows how the expansion can be used to
solve for the forced response of the circuit.
• The introductory sections discuss the differ-
ence between steady-state response and forced
response of a circuit to set the background
for application of sinusoidal expansion of
periodic waveforms in Circuit Analysis.
• Important properties of Fourier Series
expansion are brought out through solved
examples.
• In addition, this chapter ...
