Continuous Time

Periodic signals

A signal is periodic if there exists some T>0 such that: $ x(t) = x(t+T) $

-Consider $ x(t) = sin(t) $ from 0 to 8pi

A signal is NOT periodic if the converse is true, there exists some T>0 such that: x(t) ≠ x(t+T)

-Consider $ x(t) = exp(-.05*t)*sin(2*t) $ from 0 to 8pi
