How do you calculate the DC component of a signal?

The DC component is often easy to eyeball—it's equal to the average value of the signal over a period. For example, in the signal above, the DC offset is 0.5. The sinusoidal terms are often called harmonics, a term borrowed from music. The harmonics will have frequencies f, 2f, 3f, 4f and so on.

What is the DC value of a signal?

For a sampled system, the DC value is defined as the mean value of the samples acquired in the specified measurement time window. Between pure DC signals and fast-moving dynamic signals is a gray zone where signals become more complex, and measuring the DC level of these signals becomes challenging.

What is DC components?

DC components would be the constant voltage added to a pure AC waveform. When the AC waveform has a DC component, the average voltage would be equal to the DC voltage instead, because opposite peaks cancel each other leaving only the DC component.
