We know that x(t)=cos(t) is a periodic CT signal because it follows the rule, x(t+T)=x(t). It is periodic with a period T=$ \barwedge $

Now by sampling the CT signal at the right frequencies will yield a periodic DT signal. It is noticed that the signal is a DT periodic signal when it is sampled at rate $ 2*pi $,$ pi $.

When you have a signal at a sampling rate of $ 2*pi $ we get a periodic DT signal.

Now by sampling the CT signal at a random sampling rate of 1 we get a non periodic DT signal.

Periodic Signals from Non-periodic signals

We are told that we can create a periodic signal by adding together an infinite number of shifted copies of non-periodic signals periodically.

 Now let me consider a non periodic signal y=x. Now this can be made periodic by shifting it by a period of t0 and adding the sum of the shifted copies.

i.e

  $ \sum_{-infty}^\infty\ {x(t-nt0)} $

Now the matlab code to achieve this would be,

t0 = [0.001:0.001:4];
t0_1 = [4.001:0.001:8];
t0_2 = [8.001:0.001:12];
y_a = t0;
y_b = t0_1 - 4;
y_c = t0_2 - 8;
z = [y_a  y_b  y_c];
t = [0.001:0.001:12];
plot(t,z);

I have created a signal with a period of 4units.

Note: I have referred to Wei Jian Chan's matlab program to help me get started. I hope you do not mind.
