Because the current version of the STx EVAL command do not support a complex data type, a package of functions is used to implement arithmetic and special handling for complex numbers.
Note:
- A numerical object containing N x M complex numbers (N>=1, M>=1), consists of 2N rows and M columns, because each complex number uses two cells of a row.
- If a numerical object containing N x M complex numbers, is converted element-wise to real numbers, the resulting object consists of N rows and M columns.
- complex -> complex
argument xc any complex type result rc same complex type as xc
rc=cr2p(xc)
... convert xc from cartesian (real, imaginary) to polar (length, phase) format rc=cp2r(xc)
... convert xc from polar (length, phase) to cartesian (real, imaginary) format
- complex -> real
argument xc any complex type result r same real type as xc
r=cr2len(xc)
... compute length of xc; xc is stored in cartesian format r=cr2phi(xc)
... compute phase of xc; xc is stored in cartesian format r=cget(xc,0)
... get real part or length of xc (depends on format of xc) r=cget(xc,1)
... get imaginary part or phase of xc (depends on format of xc)
- real -> complex
argument x any real type argument y same type as x result rc same complex type as x
rc=cset(x,y)
... combine x (real part or length) and y (imaginary part or phase) elements to a complex numbers
cr2p
Convert Cartesian coordinates to Polar coordinates
Usage:
cr2p(xC)
Return Type:
like xC
complex numbers
