Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A complex divider utilized for dividing a first complex number by a second complex number to generate a computing result includes a computing unit and a dividing unit. The computing unit is utilized for receiving the first complex value and the second complex value, generating a third complex value according to the first complex value and the second complex value, and generating a real number according to the second complex value. The dividing unit is coupled to the computing unit, and is utilized for receiving the third complex value and the real number and dividing the third complex value by the real number to obtain the computing result.
