In writing the Fourier series we may not be able to
consider infinite number of terms for practical
reasons. The question therefore, is – how many
terms to consider?

Therefore, the corresponding Fourier series is
Frequency Spectrum
Spectral representation
The frequency representation of periodic and aperiodic
signals indicates how their power or energy is allocated to
different frequencies. Such a distribution over frequency is
called the spectrum of the signal.
For a periodic signal the spectrum is discrete function
of frequency and povides information as to how the
power of the signal is distributed over the different
frequencies present in the signal. We thus learn not
only what frequency components are present in the
signal but also the strength of these frequency
components
On the other hand, the spectrum of an aperiodic signal is
a continuous function of frequency.
Application of Fourier analysis
The frequency representation of signals and systems is
extremely important in signal processing and in
communications. It explains filtering, modulation of
messages in a communication system, the meaning of
bandwidth, and how to design filters.
Likewise, the frequency representation turns out to be
essential in the sampling of analog signals the
bridge between analog and digital signal processing.
