  1. Let x(t) = sin2 t be represented as the complex Fourier series representation i.e.
    = Ck.ejkω0t
    k = – ∞

    where, ω0 =
    ← Fundamental period
    T0

    The value of complex Fourier coefficient C1 for x(t) is—
    1. 1
      2
    2. 1
      4
    3. 1
      2
    4. 1
      4
Correct Option: B

To solve this problem first calculate the fundamental period of the given signal i.e.,
x(t) = sin2 t
or

x(t) =
1 – cos2x
= x(t) =
1 – cos2x
22

(∴ cos2 x = 1 – 2 sin2 x)
∴ sin2x =
1 – cos2x
2

FundamentaI period of x(t)
x(t) = T0 =
ω

=
= π
2

Now, x(t) = sin2t =
ejt – e–jf

2j

[e2jt – 2 + e– 2jt] ....…(A)

Also given that Fourier series representation of x(t), i.e.,
x(t) =
Ck ejkω0t =
Ck ejk2t …(B)
– ∞
– ∞

In order to find the Fourier coefficients compare equation (A) and (B), we get
C1 = –
1
4

C0 =
1
2

C-1 = –
1
4

and all other Ck = 0
Hence, alternative (B) is the correct choice.
