How do I know if a signal is periodic?

A signal is a periodic signal if it completes a pattern within a measurable time frame, called a period and repeats that pattern over identical subsequent periods. The completion of a full pattern is called a cycle. A period is defined as the amount of time (expressed in seconds) required to complete one full cycle.

Is this signal periodic or aperiodic?

A signal is said to be periodic signal if it has a definite pattern and repeats itself at a regular interval of time. Whereas, the signal which does not at the regular interval of time is known as an aperiodic signal or non-periodic signal.

What is periodic and non-periodic signal?

Signals which repeat itself after a fixed time period are called Periodic Signals. Signals which do not repeat itself after a fixed time period are called Non-Periodic Signals. In data communications, we commonly use periodic analog signals and non-periodic digital signals.
