Phasor

A phasor (of phase vector), is a complex number representing a sinusoidal function whose amplitude A, angular frequency ω and initial phase θ are time-invariant.

 


Explanation

The phasor (or complex amplitude) is a vector in the complex plane from the origin, and written as

A e

where

    A Amplitude
    e Number e
    i Imaginary unit
    θ Phase

 


Example 1

The complex number z = 1 + i can be written as a phasor, because

so that
