How to take an absolute value or modulus of z?












0












$begingroup$


let's assume the :



$$z=frac{e^{(-jc)}}{(a+jb)}$$
I would like to take the absolute value of z.
I started with multiplication z with $frac{(a-jb)}{(a-jb)}$ and got:
$$absfrac{e^{(-jc)}}{(a+jb)}=frac{e^{(-jc)}(a-jb)}{(a^2+b^2)}$$
Then:
$$frac{e^{(-jc)}(a-jb)*e^{(jc)}}{(a^2-b^2)e^{(jc)}}=frac{(a-jb)}{(a^2+b^2)e^{(jc)}}$$
Should I repeat the calculations or I made something wrong?



edit 1:



$(a-jb)(a+jb)=a^2+b^2$



edit 2:



$ abs(e^{(-jc)})=1$



$ abs(z)=frac{(a-jb)}{(a^2+b^2)e^{(jc)}}$



what should i do with $(a-jb)$? Or will be it $(a^2+b^2)$?

    Are you using 'j' as a symbol for iota(i.e. $sqrt{-1}$)?

    Multiplication with $a-jb$ gives $a^2+b^2$ in the denominator.

Recall that
$$
left|frac{z_1}{z_2}right|=frac{|z_1|}{|z_2|}
$$

If $c$ is real, then $|e^{-jc}|=|cos c+jsin c|=1$. So you have
$$
left|frac{e^{-jc}}{a+jb}right|=frac{1}{|a+jb|}=frac{1}{sqrt{a^2+b^2}}
$$
