Complex Exponentials
• z(t) = ejωt : unit magnitude, phase linearly increase with t
• simple but extremely important
• Using Euler’s formula, we have
ejωt = cos(ωt) + j sin(ωt)
• The geometric picture is very simple: a point on the unit
circle moving at a constant angular speed of ω radians per
second.

ω rad/sec ω is known as
• radian frequency
• angular speed
1 • radial frequency
• circular frequency

for consistency.

Two important properties

• A delayed version of a complex exponential is a complex


exponential of the same frequency.
Aejω(t−τ ) = Ae−jωτ ejωt
• A linear combination of two (or more) complex
exponentials of the same frequency yields a complex
exponential of the same freqeuncy.

A1 ejθ1 ejωt + A2 ejθ2 ejωt = Aejθ ejωt

The Phasor Concept
A1 ejθ1 ejωt + A2 ejθ2 ejωt = Aejθ ejωt
• Take the real part

A1 cos(ωt + θ1 ) + A2 cos(ωt + θ2 ) = A cos(ωt + θ)


Phasor Addition

To obtain i=1 Ai cos(ωt + θi ), do
• Represent each signal Ai cos(ωt + θi ) as a phasor Ai ejθi
• Add all the phasors to obtain
n
X
Aejθ = Ai ejθi
i=1

• The final answer will be A cos(ωt + θ)

The Phasor Concept
A1 ejθ1 ejωt + A2 ejθ2 ejωt = Aejθ ejωt
• Take the real part

A1 cos(ωt + θ1 ) + A2 cos(ωt + θ2 ) = A cos(ωt + θ)

Example:
• To compute 2 cos(10πt) + 2 cos(10πt + π2 )
j0 jπ
√ jπ
• Convert to sum of phasors 2e + 2e 2 = 2 + 2j = 2 2e 4
√ j π j10πt √
• Final answer: Re[2 2e 4 e ] = 2 2 cos(10πt + π4 )

Phasor Addition (cont’d)
A1 cos(ωt + θ1 ) + A2 cos(ωt + θ2 ) = A cos(ωt + θ)
• The sum of sinusoids of the same frequency is still of the
same frequency
A2 cos(ωt + θ2 ) A2 ejθ2

A1 cos(ωt + θ1 ) A cos(ωt + θ) A1 ejθ1 Aejθ

• A delayed sinusoid is still a sinusoid (of the same frequency)
