Finding theta in [-pi/2,pi/2] instead of [-pi/4,pi/4] using arctan

Hi. I need help on trigonometry.
I have a signal and a formula, which I found in a paper.
![Annotation 2018-12-31 162445.jpg](https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/199957/Annotation%202018-12-31%20162445.jpeg)
I wanna find theta (as in the formula). When using function atan(), my theta ranges from [-pi/4,pi/4]. In the paper, it mentions that theta should range from [-pi/2,pi/2], and we need to take the signs of numerator and denominator of the right-hand side of the formula into consideration when calculating theta.
My question is, how do I convert from [-pi/4,pi/4] to [-pi/2,pi/2] correctly? I know if I were to convert [-pi/2,pi/2] to [-pi,pi], I just have to use atan2() function, but in this case, it's a portion of full circle.
Please help and thank you.

https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/atan2.html#buct8h0-4 - it mentions "In contrast, atan(Y/X) returns results that are limited to the interval [-pi/2,pi/2], shown on the right side of the diagram."
tan(2*theta) = ((2*Ah*Ad)/(Ad^2-Ah^2))*cos(thetah-thetad);
2*theta = atan(((2*Ah*Ad)/(Ad^2-Ah^2))*cos(thetah-thetad));
theta = atan(((2*Ah*Ad)/(Ad^2-Ah^2))*cos(thetah-thetad)) / 2 % the result would be in radians
