Homework Phasors Problem 1 Solution: P (A Cos (+) ) Ae
EX: The phasor transform converts a cosinusoid to a complex number that captures the
magnitude and phase shift:
P[A cos(ω t + φ )] = Ae jφ
b) Find P −1[ j] .
c) Use phasors to calculate 3cos(ω t) + 4 sin(ω t) . (Convert to phasors, sum the
phasors, then convert back to a single sinusoid.)
⎡d ⎤
d) Find P ⎢ [3cos(ω t) + 4 sin(ω t)]⎥ .
⎣ dt ⎦
SOL'N: a) All that one does to find the phasor of the signal is extract the value of A
and the value of φ from the cosine expression. The A is placed in front of
ej, and φ is placed behind the j in the exponent.
Note: if the time-domain waveform has units, e.g., volts, then we attach
those units to the phasor, too. Here, we have no units.
