What is the procedure to check the signal type?
example:
x(t)=Asin(ωt)
y(t)=Ae−λ|t|
Answer
let's assume the signal, x(t) is not identically zero for all t.
an "energy signal" (what i would prefer to call a "finite energy signal") is such a signal, x(t) with a finite energy: 0 < ∫∞−∞|x(t)|2 dt < +∞
BTW, sometimes for mathematical ease, we require a stricter sense of finite "energy": 0 < ∫∞−∞|x(t)| dt < +∞
and a "power signal" (what i would prefer to call a "finite power signal") is such a signal, x(t) with finite power: 0 < lim
i think that is the most fundamental definitions of the two classes of continuous-time signals. you can do a very similar definitions for discrete-time signals, x[n].
