Transpose of a complex Matrix in MATLAB

1.8k Views Asked by At

Lets say we have a Complex Matrix

$$ \begin{matrix} a+ib & c+id \\ e+if & g+ih & \end{matrix} $$

MATLAB shows the transpose of this matrix as

$$ \begin{matrix} a-ib & e-if \\ c-id & g-ih & \end{matrix} $$

But why do we do this? Why isn't it simply

$$ \begin{matrix} a+ib & e+if \\ c+id & g+ih & \end{matrix} $$

There is Conjugate Transpose of a Matrix. What about Simple Transpose? Why doesn't it exist?

You have the two MATLAB commands

$(i)$ B=A.' Gives simple transposed matrix (without complex conjugate)

$(ii)$ B=A' Gives conjugate transpose
