Periodic Functions A, Definition of periodic functions AA periodie function is any function for which Periodic function f= ferD aay for all t. The smallest constant T that satisfies (1.1) is ealled the period of the function, By iteration of (1.1), we obtain fl =fle-+ nT), 7 (2) Figure 1-1 shows an example of a periodic function. Note that a constant isa periodie function of a period T for any value of T. fo rr Figure 1-1 A periodic function. EXAMPLE 1-1: Find the period of the function f(t) = cos 2s Solution: From the trigonometric formula ‘cos(61 + 2nm) = cos 0c0s 2am — sindsin 2am ‘we obtain cos( + 2nm) = cos 0 for any integer m since cos 2xm = 1 and sin 2nm = 0 for any integer m. ‘Thus, we see from definition (1.1) that cos Bis a periodic function with a period 2x since the smallest value (of 2xm is 2x when m = 1, Now cos2(¢ + T) = cost cas(2t + 27) = cos2r 1 2 Applied Fourier Analysis Since we know that cos(@ + 2xm) = cos for any integer m, we have 27 = 2xm. Therefore, T= nm, ‘When m = 1, we obiain the smallest value of T. Hence, the period T=. In general, if the function fle) = coset + c0s00s¢ is periodic with a period T, it must be possible to find two integers m and n such that @,T=2am and @,T=2nn (0, min ‘That is, the ratio o,/co, must be a rational number. EXAMPLE 1-2; Find the period of the function f(1) = cos(¢/3) + eos(t/4). ‘Solution: From definition (1.1), 1 1 ‘See engl + T)+ cosjlt + 7) = cosy + cos ‘Since cos(@ + 22m) = cos # for any integer m, we see that 5, L fT 2em and 77 = Dan where m and n are integers. Therefore, T = 6nm = Sin, When m = 4 and n= 3, we obtain the smallest value of T. (You can do this by trial-and-error.)

Definition of orthogonality for complex functions The orthogonality of the sine and cosine functions has been demonstrated in Section 1-3. However, {or functions that assume complex values, the concept of orthogonality has to be modified. We call the set of complex functions {f(2)} orthogonal over the interval a
