What is the necessary and sufficient condition for a sum of a periodic continuous time signal to be periodic?

Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) : Signals and Systems - Quiz(MCQ)

Ratio of period of the first signal to period of other signals should be real

Ratio of period of the first signal to period of other signals should be finite

Ratio of period of first signal to period of other signal should be rational

Ratio of period of the first signal to period of other signals should be constant

Correct Answer : Option (C) : Ratio of period of first signal to period of other signal should be rational

Explanation : The necessary and sufficient condition for a sum of a periodic continuous time signal to be periodic is that the ratio of a period of the first signal to the period of other signals should be rational.

I.e T/Ti = a rational number.
