EXP function with imaginary number

4 次查看(过去 30 天)
I am working with Matlab to reproduce SAR image by radar. But when I calculate the EXP function, the result is so different.
>> exp(0.000000000000000e+00 - 8.378507193591911e+06i)
ans =
0.5122 + 0.8588i
>> exp(0.000000000000000e+00 - 8.378522834360446e+06i)
ans =
-0.4534 - 0.8913i
I do not know why in the result, one is negative, and one is positive. Please help me with this. Thank you so much for your consideration.

There is nothing surprising about those results, their difference is more than 2*pi:
>> L = 8.378507193591911e+06;
>> R = 8.378522834360446e+06;
>> R-L
ans = 15.641
You can plot this easily, and see how that range includes real and imaginary parts that are both positive and negative:
>> V = linspace(L,R,100);
>> E = exp(complex(0,V));
>> plot(E,'-*')
>> M = [real(E(:)),imag(E(:))];
>> plot(V,M,'-*')

Thank you so much for your comments. I understood that everything is normal and my question is weird so I had closed it. Many thanks for your explanations.
