SUMMARY
The bandwidth of single tone signals, such as cosine signals, is effectively zero. The Fourier Transform (F.T.) of a cosine signal results in delta functions at both the positive and negative frequencies, indicating that the signal occupies a single frequency in the frequency domain (FD). Therefore, it is accurate to conclude that an infinite tone has zero bandwidth.
