exist over infinite time.
2.Non periodic signals are energy signals while power

Energy Signals: an energy signal is a signal with finite energy and zero average power ,while the Power Signals: a power signal is a signal with infinite energy but finite average power
Basics of power and energy signals with derivation is explained in these website links.

Power signal: Periodic and exists for infinite time with constant amplitude'. Energy of a power signal is infinite.
Example: Sinusoidal, Unit step, etc.......
Energy signal: non-periodic, finite and amplitude becomes zero as time tends to infinity. Power of a Energy signal is zero.
Example: Exponentially decaying or increasing signals, etc........
Energy Signal : ENERGY will be FINITE and average POWER will be ZERO.
Example : FINITE LENGTH SEQUENCE.
Power Signal : ENERGY will be INFINITE and average POWER will be FINITE.
Example : PERIODIC SEQUENCE.
I'm struggling with this:
Real world signal-> Finite Energy -> Power=0 -> SNR=0
This line of reasoning means that a Real life signal wille always have SNR=0, which is weird.
