Fourier series of a periodic rectangular pulse
ID: fourier-series-of-a-periodic-rectangular-pulse
An even train of rectangular pulses of width , period and unit area per pulse has Fourier coefficients for . Here the sinc function is normalized as , and the constant contribution is . Integrating the cosine over the pulse proves the formula; evenness eliminates the sine coefficients. At a pulse edge, pointwise convergence of a piecewise smooth Fourier series gives the mean of the one-sided values rather than a prescribed endpoint value.
