Abstract
Processing a complex signal includes acquisition of a signal in the form of complex numbers; determination, on the basis of the complex signal acquired, of an associated hypercomplex signal having a component which is the complex signal and at least one component that is a time derivative of the phase of the required complex signal; processing of the hypercomplex signal so that the resulting signal from the processing comprises a greater number of components than the number of components of the acquired signal.
