Complex numbers

Review of Complex Numbers

This section aims to introduce two different ways we represent complex numbers: Cartesian coordinates, and Polar coordinates. We often use complex numbers in Cartesian coordinates when we discuss impedance or admittance. We often use complex numbers in polar coordinates to discuss magnitude and phase of voltages, currents, transfer functions, and Bode Plots. We can also represent sinusoidal signals with complex numbers with phasors. It is critically important that we understand this chapter.

Operations with Complex Numbers

The purpose of this section is to review arithmetic operations with complex numbers. We use complex numbers to describe circuits. When we solve circuits to find voltages, currents, and power, we often encounter addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and the complex conjugate of complex numbers.

Euler’s Formula

The purpose of this section is to relate sinusoidal signals and complex numbers using Euler’s formula.

Phasors

Review of Phasors

Phasors are essential tool in circuit analysis, used in many applications. Phasors are a special case of superposition, that simplifies circuit analysis.
