No, discrete signals cannot have fractional periods. In signal processing, a period is defined as the smallest positive integer ( N ) such that ( x[n+N] = x[n] ) for all integer values of ( n ). Since the signal is discrete, it can only repeat at integer multiples of the period. Fractional periods would imply a non-integer number of samples between repetitions, which is not possible in discrete signals.

Whats the difference between analog and digital signal?
Analog signals are continuous while digital signals are discrete
Why FDM is for analog signals and TDM is for digital signals?
FDM stnds for frequency division multiplexing and it is used only in case of analog signals because analog signals are continuous in nature and the signal have frequency. TDM-stands for time division multiplexing and it is used only in case of digital signals because digital signals are discrete in nature and are in the form of 0 and 1s. and are time dependent.
Difference between discrete and digital signal?
THE TERM CONTINUOUS SIGNAL AND DISCRETE SIGNAL CLASSIFY THE SIGNALS ALONG THE TIME (i.e. horizontal axis) where as THE TERM ANALOG AND DIGITAL SIGNAL CLASSIFY THE SIGNAL ALONG THE AMPLITUDE (i.e vertical axis) we often confuse our-self with continuous time and analog signals. An analog signal is a signal which can take any amplitude in continuous range that is signal amplitude can take infinite values on the other hand a digital signal is one whose amplitude can take only finite numbers of values
What is Discrete time signal processing?
While processing a signal through a channel, it is preferred to sample it. It is because of the following reasonsAs we send only the samples, the gap between samples can be used to send another signal.Multiplexing is possibleSamples occupy less space than signalsTotal signal may not be required to recover dataAnd hence we use samples which are nothing but discrete time signals. hence, it is called discrete time signal processing.
Do digital signals control output?
No, some electronic devices use analog signals as their input/output others may use digital signals as their input/output; some equipment uses an analog signal as the input and outputs a digital signal. Be sure to use the correct signal and signal strength otherwise you may damage your electronic device.
