  • None of the above

πŸ’‘ Hint: Recall how signals behave near jumps.

Question 2

True or False: The amplitude of the overshoot increases when more terms are added to the series.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the behavior of overshoot with more terms.

Question 1

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.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Visualize the waveform and how adding sinusoidal terms fit into the sharp transitions.

Question 2

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

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how altering amplitude affects the signal clarity at edges.
