unwrap function

Unwrap phase angles

Unwrap radian phases by adding or subtracting multiples of 2 * pi.

unwrap(x, tol = pi)

Arguments

• x: Input array, specified as a vector or a matrix. If x is a matrix, unwrapping along the columns of x is applied.
• tol: Jump threshold to apply phase shift, specified as a scalar. A jump threshold less than $pi$ has the same effect as the threshold $pi$. Default:

.

Returns

Unwrapped phase angle, returned as a vector, matrix, or multidimensional array.

Examples

## Define spiral shape.
t <- seq(0, 6 * pi, length.out = 201)
x <- t / pi * cos(t)
y <- t / pi * sin(t)
plot(x, y, type = "l")
## find phase angle
p = atan2(y, x)
plot(t, p, type="l")
## unwrap it
q = unwrap(p)
plot(t, q, type ="l")
