Mask Parameters

Parameter	Variable	Description
Bit Width	BitWidth	The number of bits in its input.

Ports

Port	Dir	Data Type	Description
c	IN	2*BitWidth Fixed point	A complex number whose higher BitWidth bits are its real part and lower BitWidth bits are its imaginary part.
power	OUT	UFix_(2*BitWidth)_(2*BitWidth-1)	The computed power of the input complex number.

Description

Usage

The power block typically has a latency of 5 and will compute the power of its input by taking the sum of the squares of its real and imaginary components.
