A signal is a periodic function if it completes a pattern within a measurable time frame, called a period and repeats that pattern over identical subsequent periods. A signal that does not repeats its pattern over a period is called aperiodic function or non periodic.

What is non periodic function?
A non-periodic function does not remain self-similar for all integer multiples of its period. A decaying exponential is an example of a non-periodic function.
What is a periodic function and examples?
A periodic function is represented as f(x + p) = f(x), where “p” is the period of the function. Sine wave, triangular wave, square wave, and sawtooth wave are some examples of periodic functions.
What is the difference between periodic and non periodic functions give an example of periodic and non periodic functions?
For example, the motion of vehicles is non periodic. Note:All oscillatory motions are periodic motions. For example, the oscillation of a simple pendulum is an example of periodic motion as it repeats its path in a regular path for a specific time period and hence it is a periodic motion.
