Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A square wave alternates between -1 and +1. Calculate the impact of increasing the number of Fourier terms in approximating its waveform. Describe the qualitative changes.

💡 Hint: Visualize the waveform and how adding sinusoidal terms fit into the sharp transitions.

Challenge 2 Hard

Discuss in detail how windowing techniques are designed to minimize the Gibbs phenomenon. What are the trade-offs involved?

💡 Hint: Consider how altering amplitude affects the signal clarity at edges.
