A proper understanding of MATLAB basics.To follow along with this tutorial, you will need: For example, to understand more about the Fourier series, you can read here. Therefore, you do not need to retrieve it from an external source.
This toolbox is already available in MATLAB.
Moreover, the program gives plots of harmonics, original and approximated functions, magnitude spectrum, and phase spectrum. It means that the function is dependent on time. The proposed programs are versatile and can receive any function of time(t). In this tutorial, the Fourier series (Trigonometric and Exponential) is implemented and simulated using MATLAB’s Symbolic Math Toolbox. It simplifies and manipulates expression for great insights and solves algebraic and differential equations. It can perform common analytical computations such as differentiation and integration to get close form results.
Symbolic Math Toolbox provides an easy, intuitive and complete environment to interactively learn and apply math operations such as calculus, algebra, and differential equations.
