Problem

Compute the energy and the power of the CT sinusoidal signal below:

$ x(t)= \cos (5t) $

Solution

$ \begin{align} \left|\cos(5t)\right|^{2} = |\cos^2(5t)|^2 \\ \cos^2(5t) = \frac{1+\cos(10t)}{2} \end{align} $

$ \begin{align} E_{\infty} &=\int_{-\infty}^\infty |\cos^2(5t)|^2 dt \\ &=\int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{1+\cos(10t)}{2} dt \\ &=\int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{1}{2} + {\frac{1}{2}}\cos(10t) dt \\ &= (\frac{1}{2}t + {\frac{1}{10}}\sin(10t)) \Big| ^T _{-T}\\ &=\infty\\ \end{align} $

$ E_{\infty} = \infty $.

$ \begin{align} P_{\infty}&=\lim_{T\rightarrow \infty} {1 \over {2T}} \int_{-T}^T |\cos^2(5t)|^2 dt \\ &= \lim_{T\rightarrow \infty} {1 \over {2T}} (\int_{-T}^T \frac{1+\cos(10t)}{2} dt \quad \\ & = \lim_{T\rightarrow \infty} {1 \over {2T}} ((t + {\frac{1}{10}}\sin(10t)) \Big| ^T _{-T} \quad \\ & = \lim_{T\rightarrow \infty} {1 \over {2T}} (\frac{1}{2}T + \frac{1}{10} (\sin(10T)) - ((\frac{1}{2}(-T) + \sin(-10T)) \quad \\ &= \lim_{T\rightarrow \infty} {1 \over {2T}} (2T) \\ &= 1 \\ \end{align} $

$ P_{\infty} = 1 $.

Conclusion:

$ E_{\infty} = \infty $,

$ P_{\infty} = 1 $.
