Periodic Signals For some positive constant T 0 f(t) is periodic if f(t) = f(t + T 0 ) for all values of t  (- ,  ) Smallest value of T 0 is the period of f(t) A periodic signal f(t) Unchanged when time-shifted by one period May be generated by periodically extending one period Area under f(t) over any interval of duration equal to the period is same; e.g., integrating from 0 to T 0 would give the same value as integrating from –T 0 /2 to T 0 /2

Sinusoids Fundamental f 1 (t) = C 1 cos(2  f 0 t +   ) Fundamental frequency in Hertz is f 0 Fundamental frequency in rad/s is   = 2  f 0 Harmonic f n (t) = C n cos(2  n f 0 t +  n ) Frequency, n f 0, is nth harmonic of f 0 Magnitude/phase and Cartesian representations C n cos(n  0 t +  n ) = C n cos(  n ) cos(n  0 t) - C n sin(  n ) sin(n  0 t) = a n cos(n  0 t) + b n sin(n  0 t)
