What is "function of period unity"?

Hi,

I'm reading an article that has a sentence saying "where P is a function of period unity.".

Here.

I've been looking for what does it mean but without any success. Does anyone know?

It means that the period is 1. This means that f(x + 1) = f(x) for all values of x in the domain of f.

Ah, it's kind of obvious, now that you say it. Thank you.
