Why is signal power square?
Power is proportional to the squared amplitude of a signal. This "power" concept comes from thinking of the signal x[n] as representative of a voltage or current waveform. In that model, the power dissipated by applying x[n] to a one-ohm resistor is the value of |x[n]|2 averaged over one period.
Why is the periodic signal a power signal?
Since its energy is finite, it is an energy signal. f2(t) is a periodic signal (with period of 2π) whose power is as follows: Since its power is finite and nonzero, it is a power signal.
How do you find 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.
Is periodic signal energy or power?
Copied! Periodic signals are power signals; nonperiodic signals (pulses) are energy signals. When both power and energy are infinite, the signal is neither a power nor an energy signal.
