Talk:Quadrature phase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Article defines x_Q\, as the "cosine" component, and then proceeds to associate x_Q\, with \sin(\omega t)\,.

A\, and B\, appear out of nowhere and are unnecessary.

sin( \omega t + \theta )\, is a real-valued signal. So x_I\, and x_Q\, are not real and imaginary components.

The writer might be confusing complex signals with QAM.
