plot spectrum of a rectified sine wave without fft but using fourier coefficients in matlab

To plot the spectrum of a rectified sine wave using Fourier coefficients in MATLAB without using FFT, you can follow these steps:

  1. Construct the Fourier series for the rectified sine wave.
  2. Use the Fourier coefficients to calculate the spectrum of the rectified sine wave.
  3. Plot the spectrum.

Here is a sample MATLAB code that demonstrates this process:

main.m
% Define the parameters
amplitude = 1;  % Amplitude of the sine wave
frequency = 1;  % Frequency of the sine wave
num_terms = 10; % Number of Fourier coefficients

% Construct the Fourier series for the rectified sine wave
n = 1:num_terms;
an = zeros(1, num_terms);
bn = (2 * amplitude * (-1).^(n-1)) ./ (pi * (2*n - 1));
bn(1) = amplitude / 2;
t = linspace(0, 4*pi, 1000);

% Calculate the spectrum of the rectified sine wave
f = zeros(size(t));
for i = 1:num_terms
    f = f + an(i)*cos((2*pi*(2*i-1)*frequency*t)/(2*pi)) + bn(i)*sin((2*pi*(2*i-1)*frequency*t)/(2*pi));
end

% Plot the spectrum
figure;
plot(t, f);
xlabel('Time');
ylabel('Amplitude');

You can adjust the amplitude, frequency, and num_terms variables to change the properties of the rectified sine wave and the number of Fourier coefficients used in the calculation.

Make sure to run this code in a MATLAB script or the MATLAB command window to see the spectrum plot of the rectified sine wave.
