Geometric Series
Recall that for any complex number
, the signal
defines a geometric sequence, i.e., each
term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by the (complex) constant
.
A geometric series is the sum of a geometric sequence:
If
, the sum can be expressed in closed form:
Proof: We have
When
,
, by inspection of the definition of
.
