Complex Math Solved

This document provides an introduction to using MATLAB for complex arithmetic and plotting functions. It includes examples of using MATLAB functions like real(), imag(), abs(), angle() to work with complex numbers. It also demonstrates how to define a user function in MATLAB to evaluate a trigonometric function, and how to test the user defined function by plotting it over a time vector.

MATLAB as a Complex Number Calculator


• Functions used: real(), imag(), abs(), angle()
• Compare the three angle producing functions: angle(), atan2(), and atan()

Practice Problems (very similar to Set #1)


For each of the problem below work out the answer using both MATLAB and your calculator
1. Write 127 – j75 in polar form; find the angle in both radians and degrees.
>> z = 127 - j*75;
>> abs(z)
ans = 147.4924
>> angle(z)
ans = -0.5334 % In radians
>> angle(z)*180/pi
ans = -30.5640 % In degrees
Hand/Calculator workspace:
• Since this number lies
From TI89
in quadrant IV, we are
using the numerical
evaluate mode OK using the atan( ) to
(green diamond find the angle
button, them press • Watch out if in quadrant
enter)
II or III
• Best to plot the complex
number as a vector

2. Write z = 22 – 110  in rectangular form.


>> z = 22*exp(-j*110*pi/180)
z = -7.5244 -20.6732i
>> real(z)
ans = -7.5244
>> imag(z)
ans = -20.6732

3. Evaluate z =  15 – j37  – 60 45 to a rectangular form solution.


MATLAB Steps:
>> (15 - j*37) - 60*exp(j*45*pi/180)

ans = -2.7426e+01 - 7.9426e+01i

MATLAB for Plotting Data and Functions


• Functions used: plot(), xlabel(), ylabel(), title(), grid, and axis
1. Plot x  t  = 25 sin  t  5 +   4  for 0  t  15 s. Include a grid and axis labels.
>> t = 0:.1:15; % create a time axis vector with sample spacing 0.1s
>> plot(t,25*sin(pi*t/5+pi/4))
>> grid
>> xlabel('Time (s)')
>> ylabel('Amplitude')
>> print -depsc -tiff wks_fig1.eps









 










   
 

For the x  t  above, plot x  t – 2  for 0  t  15 s, overlaid on the plot of x  t  of part (1).
>> hold on % will hold the previous plot so you can overlay a new plot
>> hold
Current plot held
>> plot(t,25*sin(pi*(t-2)/5+pi/4),'r')
>> print -depsc -tiff wks_fig2.eps

User Defined Functions in MATLAB


One of the most power capabilities of Matlab is being able write your own user defined functions.
Consider a custom trig function of the form
y  t  = 3 cos  t  + 4 sin  3t  (1)
The input to this function is time, t , and the output is y . The function prototype we require is of
the form:
function y = my_trig(t)
% y = my_trig(t) is a function that evaluates the simple trig
% based function y = 3*cos(t) + 4*sin(3*t).
%
% Author: My Name
% Date: January 2011
%
…
function body
…
make sure that you return output to variable y

Write the Function


function y = my_trig(t)
% y = my_trig(t)
% Mark Wickert, January 2011

y = 3*cos(t) + 4*sin(3*t);

Test the Function


To test the function input a time vector that runs from -2s to 10s using a time step of 0.05s. Output
the results in a plot using plot(t,y).

>> t = -2:.05:10;
