The key takeaways are that complex numbers can be represented in either polar or rectangular coordinates and can be manipulated using arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Complex numbers can be represented in either polar coordinates using magnitude and phase or in rectangular coordinates using the real and imaginary parts.

Addition of complex numbers is performed by adding the real parts and adding the imaginary parts when in rectangular coordinates.

Arithmetic With Complex Numbers


We need to be able to perform computation with complex numbers. Addition Subtraction Multiplication Division

Addition
Addition is most easily performed in rectangular coordinates: A = x + jy B = z + jw A + B = (x + z) + j(y + w)

Phasors
A phasor is a complex number that represents the magnitude and phase of a sinusoid:

X M coswt q

X X M q

Complex Exponentials
A complex exponential is the mathematical tool needed to obtain phasor of a sinusoidal function. A complex exponential is ejwt = cos wt + j sin wt A complex number A = z q can be represented A = z q = z ejq = z cos q + j z sin q We represent a real-valued sinusoid as the real part of a complex exponential. Complex exponentials provide the link between time functions and phasors. Complex exponentials make solving for AC steady state an algebraic problem

Complex Exponentials (contd)


What do you get when you multiple A with ejwt for the real part?

Aejwt = z ejq ejwt = z ej(wt+q

z ej(wt+q = z cos (wt+q + j z sin (wt+q


Re[Aejwt] = z cos (wt+q
