The function ATAN2() is defined as the arctangent of the four-quadrant
y,x coordinates as atan2(y,x)
Your equation above has only a single argument so either
a) the atan2() in the paper isn't the same definition as the commonly
implemented intrinsic/Matlab function, or
b) you have transcribed the equation incorrectly.
doc atan2 % to see what Matlab expects, anyway...
