Part 1

The function was chosen at random from HW1: HW1.4 Hang Zhang - Periodic vs Non-period Functions_ECE301Fall2008mboutin

$ \,x(t)=2cos(2\pi t)\, $


Periodic Signal in DT:

If $ x(t) $ is sampled at $ period=0.1 $, the function

$ \,y[n]=x[0.1n]=2cos(\frac{2\pi n}{10})\, $

would be periodic, since

$ \,y[n]=y[n+10N], \forall N\in Z\, $


This can be seen in the following plot (notice how the values lines up horizontally):

Non-Periodic Signal in DT:

However, if $ x(t) $ is sampled at $ period=1/2\pi $, the function

$ \,z[n]=x[\frac{n}{2\pi}]=2cos(n)\, $

Is not periodic in DT, since is no integer $ k\in Z $ such that

$ \,z[n]=z[n+kN], \forall N\in Z\, $


This can be seen in the following plot (notice how the values do not line up horizontally):
