Hello everyone.
Iam trying to get my head around the difference between real and complex numbers, but Iam having a hard time...
I read that the difference is that a complex signal contains phase information.
If I look at a real signal --> x(t) = Acos(wt + Θ)
and compare it with a complex --> x(t) = Acos(wt + Θ) + i Asin(wt + Θ)
I can only see that both the real and the complex signal have phase information...
So what exactly is the difference ?
Thanks in advance for any help,
kind regards,
Mike
