how do we find the period?

I salute the entire community on my behalf.

when I was working on square wave on signals and systems, I thought that I sometimes confused the period of the signs.

i find that the period of such a sign is 4. but I'm not sure if I did it by heart or really knowing how it's done.

how do we find the period of a graph of this type in the most accurate and scientific way?

so are we looking at starting from one place and ending from another, what exactly are we looking at?

by the way, I can't help saying: I made the drawing myself , as an example , to Decipher what happened.

in short :
what is the logic of finding a period?
what is the logic of this? if anyone knows, the community will honor him.


Thank you very much!
 
Period is basically the time from the start of a cycle to its end, so in your pic
the rise of the waveform to the next cycle rise, or fall/fall. For analog waveform
from the ref point in amplitude on one waveform to the same amplitude point
in the next waveform.

In general for continuous waveforms.
 
If the waveform is a constant frequency, then the period is the inverse of that frequency. The period is the time between two identical points in the waveform, one cycle apart. For example, the time from one rising edge (such as at -5) to the next rising edge (at -1) is the period.

The plot scale is inconsistent in time (e.g. -7 to -5) but the numbers from each polar edge are equal.

But if you had a repeating binary data pattern that was 1T,2T (for +,-) the cycle would be 3T = 1/f although the pulse is no longer square so there will be even harmonics included that are otherwise null on symmetrical square pulses. That is how a spectrum analyzer would see it. For more detail read about Baud rate vs Bit rate.
