It is a series of impulses (Dirac Delta functions), each positioned at the point where the square wave changes amplitude. For a negative change in amplitude, the impulse is -inf; likewise, for a positive change in amplitude, the impulse is +inf.

The fourier expansion of the square wave is:

4/pi sum_{k=1}^\infty [ sin((2k-1)*w*t) / (2k-1) ] Likewise, its derivative is:

4/pi*w sum_{k=1}^\infty [ cos((2k-1)*w*t) ]

If you plot, the first 50 terms, you will get a pretty good idea of what it looks like. impulse

What is the derivation of the wave function?

A simple wave function can be expressed as a trigonometric function of either sine or cosine. lamba = A sine(a+bt) or lamba = A cosine(a+bt) where lamba = the y value of the wave A= magnitude of the wave a= phase angle b= frequency. the derivative of sine is cosine and the derivative of cosine is -sine so the derivative of a sine wave function would be y'=Ab cosine(a+bt) """"""""""""""""""" cosine wave function would be y' =-Ab sine(a+bt)
