In terms of Angular Frequency,

or,

where ao, an, bn are the constant co-efficient
for the corresponding frequency which
depends upon f(t).

Fourier Analysis
Equation 1 is the trigonometric form of Fourier series of f(t) and
the process of determining the values of the constant co-efficient
ao, an, bn is called Fourier analysis.
Or before calculating these co-efficient or constant co-efficient, we
will use some trigonometric integral having two sets of integers 'k'
and 'n' (i.e. 1, 2, 3, … ) in the following integrations, where '0'
and 'T' are used as integration limits.

The evaluation of the known co-efficient or
constant co-efficient may be calculated by using
above 7-integrals.

Notice that this constant ao is simply the arrange value of f(t) over
a period.
Thus ao is describe as DC component of f(t).
