Complex numbers -VHDL

[Altera_Forum]

HI all 

I have a matlab code which am to convert to vhdl.  1. How to deal with complex numbers in vhdl. I have heard that math_complex package cannot be synthesized. I have a input excel file which has complex numbers. how am i supposed to retrieve it into real and imaginary parts?  2. Can i convert complex data into a binary data? I want to give the input in binary so i can get rid of this problems Please help Thank You

Complex number is still a number, so separate real and imaginary parts and use them as simple numbers.

i was asking the same..how to seperate imaginary from real..In c we could have done that by saving the imaginary part when it encounters i(imaginary ) of a complex no. as such..how do we do that here? 

Please excuse me if am wrong

Just do the same thing as in C. Have one signal for the real part and another one for the imaginary part.
