But what exactly is "traveling in the opposite direction?" If you graph out voltage vs. time, then there is only one direction to go since, absent a flux capacitor, time marches on in a "forward" direction. Do they just mean that the voltage is inverted when you set the thing below zero? One can easily achieve that with other modules... -Monroe On Thu, May 22, 2008 at 12:28 PM, Brandon Daniel <bdu@fdiskc.com> wrote: > On Thu, May 22, 2008 at 11:16 AM, Monroe Eskew <monroe.eskew@gmail.com<monroe.eskew%40gmail.com>> > wrote: > > How can you have negative frequencies?
