plot a rectified sine wave and its first seven fourier coefficients in matlab

You can plot a rectified sine wave and its first seven Fourier coefficients in MATLAB using the following code:

main.m
% Rectified Sine Wave
t = 0:0.01:4*pi; % Time vector
x = abs(sin(t)); % Rectified sine wave

% Plotting the rectified sine wave
figure;
subplot(3,1,1);
plot(t,x);
title('Rectified Sine Wave');
xlabel('Time');
ylabel('Amplitude');

% Fourier Series Coefficients
N = 7; % Number of coefficients
a0 = 2/pi;
coefficients = zeros(1,N+1);
coefficients(1) = a0;
for n = 1:N
    an = 2/(pi*(4*n^2 - 1));
    bn = 0;
    coefficients(n+1) = an;
end

% Reconstructing the signal using Fourier coefficients
xt = zeros(size(t));
for n = 0:N
    xt = xt + coefficients(n+1) * cos((2*n+1)*t);
end

% Plotting the reconstructed signal
subplot(3,1,2);
plot(t,xt);
title('Reconstructed Signal using Fourier Coefficients');
xlabel('Time');
ylabel('Amplitude');

% Plotting the Fourier coefficients
subplot(3,1,3);
stem(0:N, coefficients);
title('Fourier Coefficients');
xlabel('Coefficient Index');
ylabel('Amplitude');

This code first generates a rectified sine wave, then calculates and plots its first seven Fourier coefficients, and finally reconstructs the signal using these coefficients and plots the reconstructed signal.

This code uses the abs() function to rectify the sine wave. Depending on your definition of rectified sine wave, you may need to implement a different rectification function.

Please note that this code assumes the rectified sine wave to be the absolute value of the sine wave.
