A discrete time signal is periodic if there exists T > 0 such that x(t + T) = x(t)
A continuous time signal is periodic if there exists some integer N > 0 such that x[n + N] = x[n]
Periodic Signal
Let $ Insert formula here $
Non Periodic Signal
Let $ x[n] = e^{jn} $
For x[n] to be periodic, the following must hold true:
$ e^{jn} = e^{j(n+N)} $ for some integer N
$ e^{jn} = e^{jn} e^{jN} $
$ 1 = e^{jN} $
1 = cos(N) + jsin(N)
This equation only holds true if $ N = 2\pi $ or some multiple of $ 2\pi $
Therefore$ x[n] = e^{jn} $ is not periodic because $ 2\pi $ is not an integer.
