Abstract :
For the conversion of complex numbers from the rectangular form a + jb into polar re10 = r ¿ ¿, it is required to evaluate r = ¿(a2 + b2)and ¿= tan¿1 (a/b). A simplified method is presented here for evaluating r and ¿ from a and b using a simple analogue circuit that operates as an inverse sine function module.
