Two Birds with One Tone: I/Q Signals and Fourier Transform – Part 2

In Part 1 of I/Q signals series, we saw the implications of orthogonality in amplitude and phase shift. This led to our treatment of signals as two dimensional complex numbers in time I/Q plane. Now we talk about orthogonality in frequency, how it gives rise to a different I/Q plane and see its implications in signal processing applications. Let us start with a new perspective that will lift more…
