phase

Formats phase angles in electrical engineering and signal processing, displaying values with the degree symbol in upright text.

Overview

Essential for representing phase angles and phase shifts in technical documents, particularly in electrical engineering, electronics, and signal analysis contexts.

  • Commonly used in phasor diagrams and AC circuit analysis
  • Ensures consistent formatting of phase angles with proper degree symbols
  • Particularly valuable in complex number representations and impedance calculations
  • Maintains typographical consistency by keeping the degree symbol upright regardless of surrounding text style

Examples

Representing a voltage phasor with magnitude and phase.

V=22030∘ VV = 220 \phase{30^\circ} \text{ V} 
V = 220 \phase{30^\circ} \text{ V}

Describing signal phase shift in signal processing.

H(ω)=0.8−45∘H(\omega) = 0.8 \phase{-45^\circ} 
H(\omega) = 0.8 \phase{-45^\circ}
