Periodic DT signal
A DT signal ??????[??????]is periodic with period ??????,
where ??????is a positive integer, if it is unchanged
by a time shift of ??????:
??????[??????]=??????[??????+??????]∀??????∈??????
The fundamental period ??????

Deterministic –random signals
Signals that either cannot be described to any
reasonable degree of accuracy by mathematical
formulas, or such a description is too complicated
to be of any practical use, are random signals.

Energy –power signals
•An energy signal has zero time-averaged power,
whereas a power signal has infinite energy.
•Periodicsignals and randomsignals are
usually viewed as powersignals,
•Signals that are both deterministicand
nonperiodicare usually viewed as energy
signals.
