Hello,
I am new to RF Design and I was introduced to the concept of complex signals and filters. But I cannot seem to understand the concept as to how do we have a complex signal in the real world.
For example when we multiply a real signal with a complex signal like exp(jωt) we are multiply the signal's spectrum with just a delta at frequecy ω and thus the entire spectrum just shifts to the right by ω as opposed to both right and left shifting if we multiply it with a real signla like a sine or a cosine. So how do we get the complex signal in the real world.
I found out that a book by Jan Crols Wireless CMOS Transceiver Design talks about this, but I cannot seem to find it anywhere.
If somebody can explain the concept to me or give me links or material where I can clarify this, it would be really helpful.
