Complex numbers

A complex number is a number of the form C =
a + jb where a and b are real and j = 1

a is the real part of C and b is the imaginary
part.
Complex numbers are merely an invention
designed to allow us to talk about the quantity j.
 j is used in EE to represent the imaginary
component to avoid confusion with CURRENT (i)


Add/subtract real and imaginary parts separately
(6  j12)  (7  j 2) = (6  7)  j (12  2) = 13  j14
(6  j12)  (7  j 2) = (6  7)  j (12  2) =  1  j10

Phasor Transform
To solve problems that involve sinusoids
(such as AC voltages and currents) we
use the phasor transform.
 We transform sinusoids into complex
numbers in polar form, solve the problem
using complex arithmetic (as described),
and then transform the result back to a
sinusoid.

THE SINUSOIDAL WAVEFORM
Generating a sinusoidal waveform through the vertical projection of a
rotating vector.
Phasors
A phasor is a rotating vector whose projection
on the vertical axis can be used to represent a
sinusoid.
 The length of the phasor is amplitude of the
sinusoid (Vm)
 The angular velocity of the phasor is 

Representing AC Signals with Complex
Numbers
By replacing e(t) with it’s phasor equivalent
E, we have transformed the source from
the time domain to the phasor domain.
 Phasors allow us to convert from
differential equations to simple algebra.
 KVL and KCL still work in phasor domain.

Using phasors to represent AC voltage and current

Looking at the sinusoid eqn, determine VPk and phase offset
.
v(t )  VPK sin(t  30 )


Using VPK, determine VRMS using the formula:
“The equivalent dc value of a sinusoidal current or voltage is
0.707 of its peak value”
V
VRMS 

The phasor is then

Representing AC Signals with Complex
Numbers

Phasor representations can be viewed as
a complex number in polar form.
e(t )  2Em sin(t   )
E = Erms
Example Problem 4
i1 = 20 sin (t) mA.
i2 = 10 sin (t+90˚) mA.
i3 = 30 sin (t - 90˚) mA.
Determine the equation for iT.
Phase Difference
Phase difference is angular
displacement between waveforms of
same frequency.
If angular displacement is 0° then
waveforms are in phase
If angular displacement is not 0o, they
are out of phase by amount of
displacement
Phase Difference
If v1 = 5 sin(100t) and v2 = 3 sin(100t - 30°), v1 leads v2 by
30°
Phase Difference w/ Phasors

The waveform generated by the leading
phasor leads the waveform generated by
the lagging phasor.
Formulas from Trigonometry

Sometimes signals are expressed in
cosines instead of sines.
cos(t   )  sin(t    90 )
sin(t   )  cos(t    90 )
cos(t  180 )   cos(t )
sin(t  180 )   sin(t )
 cos(t  70 )  sin(t  160 )   sin(t  20 )
Example Problem 5
Draw the phasor diagram, determine phase
relationship, and sketch the waveform for the
following:
i = 40 sin(t + 80º) and v = -30 sin(t - 70º)
