Consider the periodic signal x(t) = cos(2 0 t) + 2 cos( 0 t), < t <

Question:

Consider the periodic signal x(t) = cos(2Ω0t) + 2 cos(Ω0t),−∞ < t < ∞, and Ω0 = π. The frequencies of the two sinusoids are said to be harmonically related.

(a) Determine the period T0 of x(t). Compute the power Pof x(t) and verify that the power Px is the sum of the power P1 of x1(t) = cos(2π t) and the power P2 of x2 (t) = 2cos(πt).

(b) Suppose that y(t) = cos(t) + cos(πt), where the frequencies are not harmonically related. Find out whether y(t) is periodic or not. Indicate how you would find the power Py of y(t). Would Py = P1 + P2 where P1 is the power of cos(t) and P2 that of cos(πt)? Explain what is the difference with respect to the case of harmonic frequencies.
