will result in the two complex exponential contributions adding up to yield a real

Equation 9.2-1 tells us how to construct the periodic waveform v(t) from its harmonic components.
But how do we get the exponential Fourier series coefficients
v
n
given the function v(t) ?
We proceed as follows.
First we introduce a new index variable k in the place of n in Eqn. 9.2-1 and restate that equation
as follows:
v t

We wish to extract

We remember an interesting property of sinusoids – the area under a
sinusoidal curve over one period is zero, since the area accumulated under the positive half-cycle
is cancelled exactly by the area accumulated under the negative half-cycle. More generally, the area
under a sinusoid over any time interval equal to its period or integer multiples of its period will be
zero.

n is an integer. Thus, a sinusoid with angular frequency of (k

Thus,
v
o
is a real value representing the cycle average value of v(t). The area of v(t) in one cycle is
divided by the period to arrive at
v
o
.
It represents the DC content in the waveform. If this DC content
is removed from v(t), it becomes a pure AC signal that has zero area under one cycle.
