PolarToCartesian¶

standard mode | Math category

Inputs¶

magnitude (vector_real) - the magnitude vector

phase (vector_real) - the phase vector

Outputs¶

complex (vector_complex) - the resulting complex vector

Description¶

This algorithm converts an array of complex numbers from polar to cartesian 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

An exception is thrown if the size of the magnitude vector does not match the size of the phase vector.
