Meaning of complex frequency
• If we have a LC high pass filter the transfer function H(s) becomes:
• If we solve for s to find a pole of the transfer function we get:
• In the case of a sinusoidal input signal = s = jω -> ω = 1/sqrt(LC)
• But in a case of a signal which may not be sinusoidal s can be a complex number and the result of this is that the pole exists at a complex frequency.But what physical meaning does a complex frequency have?
• If we have a LC high pass filter the transfer function H(s) becomes:
• $$H(s) = \cfrac{sL}{sL + \cfrac{1}{sC}}$$
• If we solve for s to find a pole of the transfer function we get:
• $$s = j \cfrac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}$$
• In the case of a sinusoidal input signal = $s = j \omega \rightarrow \omega = \cfrac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}$
• But in a case of a signal which may not be sinusoidal s can be a complex number and the result of this is that the pole exists at a complex frequency. But what physical meaning does a complex frequency have?
