Description

../../_images/polar2rect.svg

This block transforms a signal representing polar coordinates \([r, \theta]\) into rectangular coordinates \([x, y]\):

\[\begin{split}x &= r \cos(\theta) \\ y &= r \sin(\theta)\end{split}\]

where \(\theta\) is in radians.

Example Model

  • See the example model “Polar To Rectangular”.
