How $frac{c:e^{jtheta}- a^H x}{|a|_2^2}a rightarrow$ $frac{c- |a^H x|}{|a|_2^2 : |a^H x|}aa^H x$ for $theta$...

$begingroup$


I am reading a paper, there it rewrites this equation



$$frac{c:e^{jtheta}- a^H x}{|a|_2^2}a$$



into



$$frac{c- |a^H x|}{|a|_2^2 : |a^H x|}aa^H x$$ if $theta$ to be angle of $a^H x$, where



$j = sqrt{-1}$, $c in mathbb{R}$, and $a, x in mathbb{C}^n$





Sorry, I just don't understand how to derive the latter from former. Please help.





My question in other words, how



$e^{jtheta} = frac{a^H x}{|a^H x|}$ ?

    What is $j$? What is $c$? What is $a$? What is $x$? What doe $a^H$ mean? Are these complex numbers, complex vectors, something else?

    $j = sqrt{-1}$, $c in mathbb{R}$, and $a, x in mathbb{C}^n$. Also, $a^H$ corresponds to complex conjugate transpose

It is not entirely clear from your question what $j$, $c$, $a$, $x$ and $a^H$ are, but I hope this helps:



A picture is worth a thousand words:

The point marked on the circle in the complex plane is $e^{itheta}$, where $theta$ is the angle that $z$ makes with the positive real axis. But it is also $frac{z}{|z|}$, because this is the vector $z$ scaled to lie on the unit circle. After all
$$left|frac{z}{|z|}right|=frac{|z|}{|z|}=1.$$
This shows that $e^{itheta}=frac{z}{|z|}$.
