C2000 Arctangent IQN

Four-quadrant arc tangent

Description

The Arctangent IQN block computes the four-quadrant arc tangent of the IQ number inputs and produces IQ number output.

Note

The implementation of this block does not call the corresponding Texas Instruments® library function during code generation. The Texas Instruments function uses a global Q setting and the MathWorks® code used by this block dynamically adjusts the Q format based on the block input. See Using the IQmath Library for more information.

  • C2000 Arctangent IQN block

Parameters

Function

Type of arc tangent to calculate:

  • atan2 — Compute the four-quadrant arc tangent with output in radians with values from -pi to +pi.

  • atan2PU — Compute the four-quadrant arc tangent per unit. If atan2(B,A) is greater than or equal to 0, atan2PU(B,A) = atan2(B,A)/2*pi. Otherwise, atan2PU(B,A) = atan2(B,A)/2*pi+1. The output is in per-unit radians with values from 0 to 2*pi radians.

Note

The order of the inputs to the Arctangent IQN block correspond to the Texas Instruments convention, with argument 'A' at the top and 'B' at bottom.
