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) = _________________

>> angle(z) = _________________

Hand/Calculator workspace:
Using a TI-89

2. Write z = 22 110 in rectangular form.


>> z = 22*exp(-j*110*pi/180);

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
>> ?

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
>> ?

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 5t + 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(5t) + 4*sin(3*t).

function body

make sure that you return output to variable y

Write the Function

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).
