Why all periodic signals are power signals?
All bounded periodic signals are power signals, because they do not converge to a finite value so their energy is infinite and their power is finite. So we say that a signal is a power signal if its power is finite and its energy is infinite. And the signal is an energy signal if its energy is finite and power is zero.
How do you calculate the power of a periodic signal?
When the signal is periodic, the power simplifies to Px=1NN−1∑n=0|x[n]|2, where N is a period of the periodic signal. This is equivalent to saying that the power of a periodic signal is equal to the average energy in one period in the signal.
Are all periodic functions power signals?
Almost all the periodic signals are power signals and their average power is finite and non-zero.
Which one is mainly used for periodic signals?
A Fourier series is only defined for functions defined on an interval of finite length, including periodic signals, as you can see from the definition of the Fourier coefficients (in the basis einxn∈Z) an=12π∫π−πf(x)e−inx dx.
