CartesianToPolar
standard mode | Math category
Inputs
- complex (vector_complex) - the complex input vector
Outputs
- magnitude (vector_real) - the magnitude vector
- phase (vector_real) - the phase vector
Description
- This algorithm converts an array of complex numbers from cartesian to polar form. It uses the Euler formula:
- z = x + i*y = |z|(cos(α) + i sin(α))
- where x = Real part, y = Imaginary part, and |z| = modulus = magnitude, α = phase in (-π,π]
It returns the magnitude and the phase as 2 separate vectors.
