I choose y(t)=cos(t) as my continous signal. There is no doubt that y(t)=cos(t) is periodic because cos(t + T) = cos(t) where its fundamental period is 2*π


Periodic Function

First I sample the signal y(t)=cos(t) at 100 Hz and so we get the following discrete signal which is periodic

Non periodic funtion

  • Now if I sample the signal y(t)=cos(t) at 22.22 Hz then we get the following discrete signal which is not periodic

Recurring non periodic function = periodic

Now let us shift the non periodic function y(t)= $ {e^{3t}} $


we use the following matlab code %referred the code of paul sceffler

clc
clear

t=0.01:.01:1;
x=exp(3*t);
i=[];
for d=1:10
    i=[i,x];
end

t=[0.01:.01:10];
plot(t,i)



Recurring non periodic goklani ECE301Fall2008mboutin.jpg

we see above that the non-periodic signal is now periodic
