Complex conjugate transpose

Syntax

Description

B = ctranspose([A](#buaudse-1-A)) is an alternate way to execute A', but is rarely used. It enables operator overloading for classes.

Examples

collapse all

Create a 4-by-2 matrix.

Find the conjugate transpose of A.

The result is a 2-by-4 matrix. B has the same elements as A, but the row and column index for each element are interchanged. When no complex elements are present, A' produces the same result as A.'.

Create a 2-by-2 matrix with complex elements.

A = [0-1i 2+1i;4+2i 0-2i]

A = 2×2 complex

0.0000 - 1.0000i 2.0000 + 1.0000i 4.0000 + 2.0000i 0.0000 - 2.0000i

Find the conjugate transpose of A.

B = 2×2 complex

0.0000 + 1.0000i 4.0000 - 2.0000i 2.0000 - 1.0000i 0.0000 + 2.0000i

The result, B, contains the elements of A with the row and column indices interchanged. The sign of the imaginary part of each number is also switched.

More About

collapse all

The complex conjugate transpose of a matrix interchanges the row and column index for each element, reflecting the elements across the main diagonal. The operation also negates the imaginary part of any complex numbers.

For example, if B = A' and A(1,2) is1+1i, then the element B(2,1) is1-1i.

Tips

• The nonconjugate transpose operator, A.', performs a transpose without conjugation. That is, it does not change the sign of the imaginary parts of the elements.
• For logical or non-numeric inputs, ctranspose andtranspose produce the same result.

Extended Capabilities

The ctranspose function fully supports GPU arrays. To run the function on a GPU, specify the input data as a gpuArray (Parallel Computing Toolbox). For more information, see Run MATLAB Functions on a GPU (Parallel Computing Toolbox).
