We note that v{t) is periodic with period T = 2π: v(t) is already expressed as a Fourier series with a_1=1, a_3=\frac{1}{2} \text { and } b_2=-\frac{1}{3}. All other Fourier coefficients are 0. The instantaneous power is (v(t))^2 and hence the average power over one period is given by

P_{\mathrm{av}}=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \int_0^{2 \pi}(v(t))^2 \mathrm{~d} t

Therefore, using Parseval’s theorem we find

P_{\mathrm{av}}=\frac{1}{2}\left(1^2+\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)^2+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2\right)=0.68 \mathrm{~W}
