Fix time variable for sampled signals

Generate periodic waveform from one period

PeriodicSignal[f, {dmin, dmax}, {t, min, max}] generates a periodic waveform for the interval [min, max]. It is assumed that one period of the function f(t) is defined over the interval [dmin, dmax].

Plot periodic waveforms

PeriodicPlot[f, {dmin, dmax}, {t, min, max}, opts] plots a a periodic waveform for the interval [min, max]. It is assumed that one period of the function f(t) is defined over the interval [dmin, dmax]. The 'opts' argument passed plotting options to the Mathematica function Plot[ ].

Fourier rearrange

FourierRearrange[fft] rearranges the result of an FFT (Mathematica function Fourier[ ]), to a easier to visualize the spectrum represented by 'fft'. The length of the list 'fft' is assumed to be even; if it is not, the last term in 'fft' is dropped.
