Periodic Functions

A periodic function is a function which repeats over a period of time. A good example of periodic functions are:

  • $ \,y = sin(t) $

  • $ \,y = cos(t) $

As you can see, this function repeats itself with a period of $ 2\pi $ Evencosx ECE301Fall2008mboutin.gif

Non-Periodic Functions

Non periodic functions don't repeat. A good example of non-periodic functions are:

  • $ \,y = x^2 $

  • $ \,y = e^x $
