The document defines complex frequency as a type of frequency that depends on two parameters: σ, which controls the magnitude of the signal, and w, which controls the rotation. It presents the equation for a complex exponential signal and defines the terms. It then analyzes three cases of complex frequency: 1) when w = 0 and σ varies, 2) when σ = 0 and w varies, and 3) when both σ and w have values. The response of a circuit to various input signals is also analyzed using the complex frequency concept.
