What is a fundamental period?

The first interval of a periodic signal

Every interval of a periodic signal

Every interval of an aperiodic signal

The last interval of a periodic signal

Correct Answer : Option (A) : The first interval of a periodic signal

Explanation : The first time interval of a periodic signal after which it repeats itself is called a fundamental period. It should be noted that the fundamental period is the first positive value of frequency for which the signal repeats itself.
