Periodic CT and DT Signals

Background

When given a CT signal, DT signals can be produced by sampling the CT at certain intervals. For Example: Given the periodic signal $ 4cos(\pi t) $, The following 2 signals can be produced, one periodic and one not.

DT Periodic Signal

This function has a sampling frequency of 1 unit.

DT Non-Periodic Signal

If we now sample this function at $ \frac{1}{\pi} $, the equation would turn into $ 4cos[n] $ , giving

which is not periodic.
