You could find a previous comp.dsp topic to be helpful. It's titled "Complex Number Tutorial" and began in January of this year. Darol Klawetter

What's "sensible"? Are you thanking ME? If so, then you're welcome. Be nice. Be polite. Don't question motives. People here are trying to help you.

You asked, "... can you please me what the term 'j' stands for in the Fourier transform ..." How come, now, "of course"?

Then that is the question you should have asked.

If you knew what it meant then you asked the wrong question. Usenet is not a good interface for mind reading, people can only go by what you actually write down. I still don't know what information you're really looking for. Consider clarifying your question better and you'll get better responses. Garbage in, garbage out.

It is interesting that what the OP thinks is his SENSIBLE answer did not really answer his original question. It also interesting that the OP thinks that people here are trying to "increase their posts" to the group. There is certainly a lot to be gained by doing that. NOT!!!! Maybe that is what the OP does. "Pathetic"? Dirk

You are like the guy who begs for a meal and then complains that it is not good enough for you to eat.

========================================================================= I was hoping someone would answer my question SENSIBILY. Ofcourse I know what 'j' or 'i' for the matter, means. My question was that what does it mean as far as signal processing is concerned i.e. how does it effect our practical signal processing rather than just mathematics. Thanks to the SENSIBLE people who answered my question .... others who tried to explain it as iota ... imaginary ... are maybe just trying to increase their posts on this group.

You are the only one who has answered my question SENSIBILY. Ofcourse I know what 'j' or 'i' for the matter, means. My question was that what does it mean as far as signal processing is concerned i.e. how does it effect our practical signal processing rather than just mathematics.
