I wonder why the phase range in DSP applications is between -pi$-\pi$ and pi$+\pi$. For example, why is that not between 0$0$ and 2*pi$2\pi$?
This question popped when I was reading about synchronization in digital communications. It
It said instead of Arg( Im(x) / Re(x) )$\arg( Im(x) / Re(x) )$ we can use just Im(x)$Im(x)$ because they are of the same sign because phase (here "x"$x$) is always between -pi$-\pi$ and pi $+\pi$ !!!
Thank you in advance! Regards, AGD
