My teacher said to me that Instantaneous Angle means Argument of Complex Function thats all. Someone please tell me what significance does this "instantaneous" Word has here ?

  • $\begingroup$ $f(t)$=$e^{j{({\Omega}t+\Phi_0})}$ where $${{\Omega}t+\Phi_0}$$ is instantaneous angle $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ great. It's instantaneous at time $t$. $\endgroup$

Instantaneous usually means the value of something right at this time. I think what this means in your case is that the function $f(t)$ is complex and you are taking the argument (finding the angle): $$ \theta(t) = \arg\left( f(t) \right) = {\rm atan}(\Im[f(t)],\Re[f(t)]) $$ where $\Im[ \cdot ]$ indicates taking the imaginary part and $\Re[ \cdot ]$ indicates taking the real part.
