In this tutorial, we will discuss how to take the transpose of a matrix using the transpose() and ctranspose() function in MATLAB.

Calculate the Transpose of a Matrix Using the transpose() Function in MATLAB

The transpose() function is used to take the transpose of a vector or a matrix in MATLAB. You can also use the .' operator instead of this function which performs the same as the transpose() function. For example, let’s take the transpose of a matrix using the transpose() function. See the code below.

mat = [1 2 3; 4 5 6]
T_mat = transpose(mat)

Output:

mat =

     1     2     3
     4     5     6


T_mat =

     1     4
     2     5
     3     6

As you can see in the output, the second matrix is the transpose to of the first matrix. You can also use the .' operator to take the transpose of a given matrix. For example, see the code below.

T_mat = mat.'
