Complex Numbers
z = (x,y)
Where:
x = the real part of z written as x = Re z
y = the imaginary part of z written as y = Im z
Geometrical Representation
of a Complex Number
Illustration
Plot the following:
z1 = 4 + j3 z3 = 5 – j
z2 = -2 + j2 z4 = -3 – j2
Forms of Complex Numbers
1. Rectangular Form
z = x + jy j = −1
Where:
x = real part y = imaginary part j = j-operator
2. Trigonometric Form
z = r(cosθ + jsinθ) z = rcisθ
3. Polar Form
y
z = r∠θ r= x2 + y2 θ = tan−1
x
Where:
r is the absolute value, amplitude or modulus (mod) of z
θ is the argument (arg) or phase of z
4.Exponential Form
z = rejθ Where: θ = argument in radians
The j-Operator
The j-operator is an operator used to indicate the counter-clockwise
rotation of a vector through 90°.
Powers of j
j = −1 j4 = (j2)2 = 1
j2 = -1 j5 = (j4)j = j
j3 = (j2)j = -j

3. Multiplication and Division of Complex Numbers
let z1 = r1 ∠θ1 = r1 ejθ1 and z2 = r2 ∠θ2 = r2 ejθ2
then
