Consider the following table for Relationship between time domain signal and trigonometric F.S coefficient

Time domain

Trigonometric F.S. coefficient

 1. real and even

 bn = 0  an ≠ 0

 2. Real and odd

 bn ≠ 0  an = 0

 3. real + half wave summitry

 an = bn = 0 (n = even) a0 = 0

 4. Real + Even + HWS

 bn = 0   a0 = 0    an = 0 if n = even

 5. Real + ODD + HWS

 a0 = 0

 an = 0

 bn = 0 → n = even

 

 

For an even symmetry, only cosine terms exist.
For an odd symmetry, only sine terms exist.
