Apr 5, 2023 at 2:44 comment added Dan Boschen @PrematureCorn this may help: $2\cos(2\pi 50e3 t) = e^{j2\pi 50e3 t}+e^{-j2\pi 50e3 t}$, which is how we see directly the positive 50KHz and negative 50KHz frequencies (which appear as two bins in the FFT). If you multiply that by $e^{j2\pi 15e3 t}$ you get $e^{j2\pi 65e3 t}+e^{-j2\pi 35e3 t}$. If you only wanted the 65KHz, you either need to high pass filter, or use the analytic signal as explained in the comments under your post.
Apr 4, 2023 at 20:58 comment added Hilmar @PrematureCorn: "correct" in this context depends really on what exactly you want to do and why. There are some applications where complex signals are perfectly fine and others where they really don't make sense.
Apr 4, 2023 at 19:29 comment added PrematureCorn Could you please add to your answer what the "correct" components are? Also, what would be the best practice of handling a real signal multiplied by a complex exponential? Should I filter it?
