Spectral plot for a time-domain waveform displays the Fourier series coefficients graphically against frequency. Since the frequencies involved in a Fourier series are discrete values (fundamental frequency and its multiples), a plot of Fourier series coefficients cannot be a continuous curve. Therefore, the spectral plot is called a discrete spectrum. The exponential Fourier series coefficients are complex in general and two plots will be needed – one for magnitude of the coefficients and the other for phase angle of the coefficients.
The information on coefficients is portrayed as a series of vertical lines located at harmonic frequencies. These lines will be equidistant and the length of the lines ...
