In communications and signal processing, it is frequently necessary to calculate the power of a signal. This can be done with a function like the following:

def magsq(z): Â Â """ Â Â Return the magnitude squared of the real- or complex-valued input. Â Â """ Â Â return z.real**2 + z.imag**2

Is that not the same as np.abs(z)**2 ? - Ray
