x(t) = x(t + nT). The minimum value of T that satisfies x(t) = x(t + T) is called the fundamental period of the signal and we denote it as T0.
What is the fundamental period?
The fundamental period of a function is the period of the function which are of the form, f(x+k)=f(x) f(x+k)=f(x), then k is called the period of the function and the function f is called a periodic function.
What is the period of the signal?
A periodic signal is one that repeats the sequence of values exactly after a fixed length of time, known as the period. In mathematical terms a signal x(t) is periodic if there is a number T such that for all t Equation 10.10 holds.
