[PD] Negative frequency of modulating sinusouid in FT

[Maximiliano Estudies]

Hi Miller,

thank you for answering my question. I see it now, it is actually stated a
couple of times in the book that when multiplying complex sinusoids their
magnitudes multiply and the angular frequency adds, and thus when
multiplying a complex sinusoid by a unit magnitude and opposite frequency
you get one with the magnitude of the first and zero frequency. Beautiful.

Thank you again for your answer and for the book!
