This is excellent! I have always wondered about negative frequency but never was able to understand. You explained it so beautifully! Also decomposing the signal into cosine and since components made me realise these concepts more clearly for the first time, I never even thought this decomposition existed!!! Everything is so intuitively explained, you are a fantastic teacher ❤

Your book clearly explains these concepts that have always puzzled me. Thanks.

Mark, I want to thank you for the effort and production quality you put into your videos - your animations are top-notch. While they haven't transformed me into an overnight mathematician superstar, they have significantly aided in giving me intuition about a topic I knew practically nothing of. Personally, I now consider you to be among the top youtube educational channels, which places you among esteemed company. I hope for everyone's sake that you keep making these high-quality videos, and that whatever reward you gain from it makes it worth your while. I just purchased your book in part to support your efforts, with its reasonable price being another thing I want to commend you for. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for your kind words. I LOVE making these videos as I found these concepts so hard to understand when I was a student and I get a real kick when people write back to me saying that I have helped them understand things I always found so difficult. I'm currently looking around for funding so I can spend my days just making videos. In the meantime, my second book: "How the Fourier Transform Works" is on the way. I'm busy writing it as we speak.

Sir, thank you so much. Your videos are great for giving intuition of complicated subjects

Hi Mark, firstly thank you so much for excellent explanation. I just don't understand one thing. In your previous videos which about of Fourier Transform, you say "complex number result of Fourier Transform is contains either phase and amplitude information". The amplitude of real and imaginary component's of Fourier transform result also cover the phase information. During the performing Inverse Fourier Transform, we added negative frequency and positive frequency sinusoids as a result imaginary components are cancelled each other. In this situation, the magnitude of reconstructed sinusoid or real component of the reconstructed signal is 2 times bigger than real component of negative and positive frequency's ( actually this is eliminated by 1/2 which is out of integral). However, the imaginary part is 0. This situation, we get a real cosine wave and 0 phase degree. This is absolutely unacceptable because one properity of wave is dissapered. Please if I'm wrong you say this and explain me that mechanism.

Excellent! gave me insight and understanding I didn't have

I absolutely loved the explanation of the "real life" implications of negative frequencies, I work with audio synthesis and see those sidebands all the time, but I never thought of them as related to this concept and even to the spacing between radio signal bands, It seems so natural now. Thank you!

You're most welcome. I learned about single-side-band modulation years ago, but never understood it, or why it happened. The same is true of imaginary numbers. Only when I began working with these concepts professionally did the two come together for me in a practical way.

Why does the baseband frequency of your voice contain negative frequency? Or is that the FFT results of the time domain voice signal?

@MarkNewmanEducation

Жыл бұрын

That's the really weird thing. This negative frequency is a physical phenomenon. I have no way, beyond the ideas I expressed in the video, to intuitively explain why it is so. It just is! This may suggest that imaginary numbers are not so imaginary after all; that they too are a physical phenomenon. It's not just an artifact of the FFT. Certainly in physics they are now beginning to think that the imaginary dimension, as Decartes called it, is a real thing, not just a trick of the maths. Mind blowing, I know.

can you make a video on noncommutative phase of negative frequency as nonlocality? thanks

Let me add something to this. There's that thing called the Hartley transform. For a start, the Hartley kernel is neither a sine wave nor a cosine wave. It's phase-shifted exactly midway between these two. Now you might wonder: "What the hell does he need this strange phase shift for?" Well, if you play this thing backwards, what happens? Surprise surprise, it's the same as if you start a quarter-period ahead. This means that you can get any possible phase shift just by changing the ratio of the two amplitudes (i.e. the one of the positive-frequency Hartley sinusoid compared to that of the negative-frequency Hartley sinusoid). Which in turn tells me that this way, I can represent any possible signal that I could ever think of, with the added advantage that I don't need complex numbers this time. By which I mean, there's even a 1-dimensional way of representing negative frequencies and this representation still has its use and its meaning. Without negative frequencies, my signals would be similarly limited as if I sticked just to sine waves without cosine waves or vice versa.

Hi, can you give me some links or any sources, where I can understand this concept of negative frequency in more depth.
