phasor angel symbol in latex
H.S.
Is there a command for the "angle" symbol? This is used in phasor
representations (commonly used in electric circuits):
3 / 5
-----
Where 3 is the magnitude and 5 is the angle.
thanks,

Please remove the underscores ( the '_' symbols), if any, from my email
address to obtain the correct one. Apologies, but the fudging is to
reduce spam.

$\angle \varphi$

Yes, I already tried that, but it doesn't put the the \varphi "inside"
the angle, as I have shown in my original post. I am looking for the
symbol that is commonly found in the textbooks on electric circuits.

Perhaps something like this :
\documentclass{article}
\newcommand{\phase}[1]{\angle\kern-2pt\raise1pt\hbox{$\scriptstyle #1$}}
\begin{document}
$ 3\phase{5}$
\end{document}

Close. Can the bottom line of the angle symbol be extended depending on
the length of the argument (imagine 90, pi/2, 180 or -180). So, it will
be shorter for 8 degrees and longer for -180 degrees.

Below is an adaptation of the definition of \angle. A truly general
solution would adjust for the depth and height of the argument
instead of \smash-ing it, and would not compress the argument
to \scriptstyle to make it fit. That would require replacing the
\not symbol with a variable height line, perhaps with the picture
environment.
\documentclass{article}
\makeatletter
\def\phase#1{{\vbox{\ialign{$\m@th\scriptstyle##$\crcr
\not\mathrel{\mkern10mu\smash{#1}}\crcr
\noalign{\nointerlineskip}
\mkern2.5mu\leaders\hrule height.34pt\hfill\mkern2.5mu\crcr}}}}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
$\phase\theta$
$\phase\phi$
$\phase{\phi_{n_k}}$
$\phase{-180}$
\end{document}

This works great and does everything I had mentioned earlier. The only
problem left with this is that for some reason it doesn't show the
degree symbol:
$\phase {-180^\circ}$
Thanks for your effort, it is much appreciated.

That works perfectly here.

Well, it is working here as well now! I am not sure what could have went
wrong. I was thinking anti-aliasing in gv might have been the problem,
but I checked and it is not so. In any case, it is working ... so it is
great!
Thanks a ton for you help,
