1. Creating two DT signals (one periodic and one non-periodic) from a periodic CT signal

Let x(t) = sin (t), which is a periodic CT signal

x(t) = sin (t) Sin1 ECE301Fall2008mboutin.jpg


Sampling every t = 0.01 Samp0 ECE301Fall2008mboutin.jpg


Periodic Signal

Sampling every $ t = \pi $ Samp pi ECE301Fall2008mboutin.jpg

This discrete time signal was produced from a CT sine wave by sampling at a frequency of $ \frac{1}{\pi} $.

As can be seen from the graph, the values of x[n] are periodic because they repeat after every period of $ t = 2\pi $.

Therefore, $ x[n + 2\pi] = x[n] $


Non Periodic Signal

Sampling every t = 2 Samp2 ECE301Fall2008mboutin.jpg

For this discrete time signal which was produced by sampling the same sine wave at a frequency of 0.5, the values of x[n] are non-periodic because the discrete time signal is scattered all over the place with no indication of a pattern. Therefore, $ x[n + k] \neq x[n] $

2. Create a periodic signal by summing shifted copies of a non-periodic signal
