COMPLEX NUMBERS
z = x + jy (1.1)
x = Rez (1.2a)
y = Imz (1.2b)
j = √−1 (1.3)
By definition, two complex numbers are equal if and only if their real parts are equal and their imaginary
parts are equal, or if z = x + jy is equal to z = x + jy then
Rez = Rez (1.4a)
x = x (1.4b)
and
Imz = Imz (1.4c)
y = y (1.4d)
z + z = x + x + jy + y (1.5)
or the sum of two complex numbers is the sum of their real parts plus the sum of their imaginary parts
multiplied by the imaginary unit. The addition of complex numbers is similar to vector addition.
z z = x x − y y + jx y + x y (1.6)
Example 1.1
Let z = 8 + j3 and z = 9 − j2. Find
(a) the real part of z and z .
(b) the imaginary part of z and z .
(c) the sum z + z
(d) the product z z
Answers:
(a) Rez = 8 and Rez = 9
(b) Imz = 3 and Imz = −2
(c) z + z = 17 + j
(d) z z = 78 + j11
Subtraction is defined as the inverse operation of addition. Thus the difference z − z is defined as
z − z = x − x + jy − y (1.7)
Division is defined as the inverse operation of multiplication. The quotient is defined as
z x x + y y x y − x y
= +j (1.8)
z x + y
x + y
Example 1.2
Let z = 8 + j3 and z = 9 − j2. Find
(a) the difference z − z .
(b) the quotient .

Since the complex number z = x + jy contains an ordered pair x, y, it can be plotted in a standard
Cartesian coordinate plane. We choose the horizontal axis as the x-axis and is called the real axis and the
vertical axis as the y-axis called the imaginary axis. We choose the same unit length for both axes. A
complex number z = x + jy is represented as a point Px, y, shown in Figure 1.1. The coordinate axes
in which complex numbers are represented are called the complex plane, or sometimes, the Argand
diagram.
Figure 1.2 shows how the complex number z = 4 − j3 is represented in the complex plane.
The complex conjugate z ∗ (in some books z') of a complex number z = x + jy is defined by
z ∗ = x − jy (1.9)
It is obtained geometrically by reflecting the point z in the real axis. Figure 1.3 demonstrates this.

15. Show that j = −1, j$ = −j, j# = 1 and 0 = −j, 0 = −1, 01 = j, 02 = 1. From the results of
these, evaluate j$ and its reciprocal, j-$ .
The complex plane becomes even more useful and gives further insight into the arithmetic operations for
complex numbers if besides the xy-coordinates (the rectangular form) we also employ the usual polar
coordinates r and θ, defined by
x = r cos θ (1.10a)
y = r sin θ (1.10b)
The parameter r is called the absolute value or modulus or magnitude of z denoted by |z|. Hence,
Geometrically, r is the distance of the point z from the origin. Similarly, |z − z | is the distance between
z and z .
The parameter θ is called the argument or angle of z and is denoted by argz. Thus,
?
argz = θ = arctan @ (1.13)
Geometrically, θ is the directed angle from the positive x-axis to the terminal point z. Here, all angles are
measured positive in the counterclockwise sense. See Figure 1.4.
The principle value of the angle θ, denoted as Argz (with a capital A) is a unique value for the angle θ
which lies in between – π and π. Thus,
−π D Arg z E π (1.14)
for z F 0. For a given complex number, the other values of arg z are arg z = Arg z G 2πn n =
G1, G2, . . . .
Example 1.3
For z = 1 + j, z = −1 − j, and z$ = 3 + j3√3, find
(a) the modulus r, the principal argument θ and express each in polar form.
(b) all the possible arguments.
(c) the plot of each one in complex plane.
Answers:
For z ,
(a) r = √2, Arg z = π, z = √2 (cos π + j sin π) = √2∠ π;
# # # #
(b) arg z = π G 2πn n = G1, G2, . . .
#
For z ,
$I $ $ $
(a) r = √2, Arg z = − , z = √2 (cos (− π) + j sin (− π)) = √2∠ (− π);
# # # #
$
(b) arg z = − # π G 2πn n = G1, G2, . . .
For z$ ,
I
(a) r$ = 6, Arg z$ = $ , z$ = 6 (cos ($ π) + j sin ($ π)) = 6∠ ($ π);
(b) arg z$ = $ π G 2πn n = G1, G2, . . .
Multiplication and division of complex numbers are easier to perform in polar rather than the rectangular
form. If we have z = x + jy = r ∠θ and z = x + jy = r ∠θ , we can prove that
Thus, |z z | = |z ||z | and argz z = arg z + arg z . Similarly, for division,
z r r
= cosθ − θ + j sinθ − θ = ∠θ − θ (1.16)
z r r
| |
Thus, K K = | | and arg ( ) = arg z − arg z .

where k = 0, 1, 2, . . . , n − 1. These n values lie on a circle of radius N√r with center at the origin and
constitute the vertices of a regular polygon on n sides. The value of N√z obtained by taking the principal
value of arg z and k = 0 in Eq. 1.19 is called the principal root.

z = re0O (1.20)
where r and θ are the magnitude and argument of z as discussed in the previous section. Taking the polar
form of z,
we see that
The exponential form of complex numbers has many interesting properties, which relates exponential,
trigonometric and hyperbolic functions of complex numbers. For example, adding Eqs. 1.21a and 1.21b
gives the exponential equivalent of cosine function, that is
e0O + e-0O
cos θ = (1.22a)

and subtracting the two gives the exponential equivalent sine function

The natural logarithm of z = x + jy is denoted by ln z and is defined as the inverse of the exponential
function; that is, w = ln z is defined for z F 0 by the relation eV = z. By setting w = u + jv, we find
that the logarithm of a complex number z is given as
ln z = ln r + jθ (1.27)
Recall that the argument of z is determined only up to integer multiples of 2π, it follows that the complex
natural logarithm is infinitely many-valued. The value of ln z corresponding to the principal value Arg z is
denoted by Ln z and is called the principal value of ln z. Thus,
The uniqueness of Arg z for given z implies that Ln z is single-valued, that is, a function in the usual
sense. Since, the other values of arg z differ by integer multiples of 2π, the other values of ln z are given
by
ln z = Ln z G j2πn (1.29)
