Periodic Signals Revisited

1. By sampling at different frequencies the function $ y=sin(x)\! $ can appear as both periodic and non-periodic in DT. For example:

$ y(x)=sin(x) \! $ in CT Sinwave ECE301Fall2008mboutin.jpg

$ y[n]=sin[n] \! $ with a sample rate of 1 Samprate1 ECE301Fall2008mboutin.jpg

$ y[n]=sin[n] \! $ with a sample rate of $ pi/4 \! $ Samprate2 ECE301Fall2008mboutin.jpg


The second graph has no integer value of N where y[n]=y[n+N], thus it is non-periodic. The third graph clearly shows there is an integer value of N where y[n]=y[n+N], thus it is periodic.
