(EC19303)
 x[n] = x[n + N]

A cos(Ωn + φ) = A cos(Ω(n + N) + φ)

A cos(Ωn + φ + 2πm) = A cos(Ωn + φ + ΩN)

∴ 2πm = ΩN

N = 2πm/ Ω

N is a integer
m is a smallest possible integer to make N to be an integer
Example i: Ω = 37π/11 Example ii: Ω = 2

For any value of

For any value of
integer ‘m’, N cannot
integer ‘m’, N cannot
If m=37, N=22 be a integer
be a integer

x[n] is periodic x[n] is not periodic x[n] is not periodic
