The complex relationship of You, Jay and I : Practical DSP we all failed or forgot but really need to understand.

on YouTube ↗54m

" summary

Demos show LabVIEW code (1024 samples, 74-cycle sine) that visualizes positive/negative rotating phasors, uses FFT zero-padding to increase time-domain points via inverse FFT, and reproduces images and tones from complex spectra. Claims: coherent vs noncoherent sampling behavior, Nyquist zones, and aliasing aren’t loss of amplitude or phase but spectral folding. Includes practical fixes: analog filtering, window choice trade-offs, and using LabVIEW complex datatype and polar notation for clearer DSP and FPGA/GPU implementations.
