	Once you have your signal received, it is split and passed through two different mixers and combined with two different waves (by a phase of pi/2). This may seem like it will only complicate things more but this is not the case. The frequency of the sine waves we use allows us to simplify the math and, physically, returns the frequency to base-band.

	You will be receiving a signal passed over the airwaves at a certain frequency. Encoded at that frequency will be the beautiful voice of Sandy Patty (more likely the frazzled voice of a ham radio operator). In reality, though, all this is inaudible because how high the frequency is. The sound recording has been taken from base-band and separated into a real and non-real part. In-order for the computer to make any sense of the input signal (v(t)) we must return it to base-band, and for the base-band signal to make any sense we need both the real (x(t)) and non-real part (y(t)). It is up to you and your design to decode the signal and give it to the computer so it can play it back in all its audio glory.
