(i) Using integration by parts, show that, if f 0 exists and is a bounded function on
R, then there exists a constant k such that |an | nk and |bn | nk for all n 1.

for f is absolutely convergent for all x.

In (i) and (ii), if functions are extended as periodic functions, they are continuous at all points and
so the Fourier series converge to the function value at all points.
h (x ) =
In (iii), if function is extended as a periodic function, it is discontinuous at x = 0; 2; 4; thus the
Fourier series converges to 12 at these points and converges to the value of the function at all other
points.

converges to f (x) for all x 2 R.

The tables are required to resolve for the Bessel function for harmonic terms. The harmonics
in the inverter output appear as sidebands, centered around the switching frequency, that is,
around mf, 2mf, 3mf and so on. This general pattern hold true for all values of ma in the range
0 1 and mf>9. The unipolar SPWM switching scheme has the advantage of effectively
doubling the switching frequency as far as the output harmonics are concerned, compared to
the bipolar SPWM switching scheme. Because of that the harmonics in the inverter output of
unipolar SPWM are centered around 2mf, 4mf, 6mf and so on.
