Periodic Signal Definition

  • For a Continuous-time signal
     There exists a positive value of T for which
     
     $ x(t) = x(t - T) $
     
     for all values of t.
  • For a Discrete-time signal
     There exists a positive integer N for which
     
     $ x[n] = x[n + N] $
     
     for all values of n.
     
     Note: N is the period of the signal.


Problems

  • Periodic Continuous-Time Signal
     $ x(t) = 3\cos(4t + \frac{\pi}{3}) $
  • Not Periodic Continuous-Time Signal
     $ x(t) = e^{j(\pit-1)} $
     
     It is not continuous because
