Question 1

What does the Gibbs phenomenon primarily affect in signal processing?

Frequency response
Signal continuity
Fourier series approximations

💡 Hint: Think about how discontinuities impact smooth approximations.

Question 2

Is the overshoot in the Gibbs phenomenon dependent on the number of terms added?

True
False

💡 Hint: Recall that adding terms only affects the regions away from discontinuities.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a digital audio processing system that applies a Fourier series reconstruction to a square wave. Calculate the amplitude of the overshoot given a jump from -1 to +1.

💡 Hint: Use the formula that relates overshoot to the jump size.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design a hypothetical windowing function and explain how it could be implemented to mitigate the Gibbs phenomenon in a specific signal processing application.

💡 Hint: Think about how the shape of the window can impact the summation of waveforms.
