I have been trying to find the solution of the following problem but with no luck.
I have a system that generates a waveform of sinusoidal type with the only difference being that this wave has 2 cycles on, 2 cycles off, 2 cycles on and so on...
The x-axis is time. Each cycle is 20 ms or 50 Hz. After two ON cycles, there are two OFF cycles.
I want to find out the harmonic content of this waveform through Fourier analysis. But I don't have any idea where to start. I am confused with the time period. For example, I have to find a0, for that we have this,
Now I am confused with what should be T and what shout be I (t). I computed it with T = 8*Pi. and i(t) = sin(wt). But I couldn't get answers. Because I don't know what limits should be applied to the integrals.
Please help me on this one or direct me to the source where I can find the answer. My goal is to find the Fourier series of this function and I already have an idea that this wave contains Sub-harmonics and Inter-Harmonics.
Edit (In case you're wondering why do I want this):
This actually is a test waveform in one of the IEC standards to test harmonics immunity of electronics devices. According to the standard, this waveform is supposed to contain Sub-Harmonics and Inter-Harmonics.
This is the spectrum of this wave according to the standard (IEC 62053-21).
I want to find out how this spectrum is achieved through Fourier series. This test also mentions some other waveform like half-wave rectified, 90-degree phase fired sine wave, etc. I did the Fourier analysis for these and I could clearly achieve the results (Harmonics Contents spectrum) same as Standards.
Though I can't seem to reach the results for this specified case (2 cycles ON, 2 Cycles OFF).
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thank you.
