We investigate a long time asymptotic state of periodically driven open quantum systems analytically. The model we consider in this paper is a free fermionic system coupled to an energy and particle reservoir. We clarify some generic properties of the system which are independent of the details of the reservoir in the high frequency regime of the external driving. When the frequency of the external driving is much larger than the energy cutoff of the system-reservoir coupling, the low-energy properties of the system are equivalent to those of the Gibbs distribution of a Floquet effective Hamiltonian. Furthermore, we investigate the effect of finite dissipation on the system, and elucidate that we cannot suppress excitations by merely increasing the system-reservoir coupling because the excitations are created through the reservoir by the external driving when the frequency is smaller than the energy cutoff of the system-reservoir coupling.
