General: |A| = A * (conjugate of A)

A = a + jb conjugate is a - jb

| A |= ( a + jb)( a − jb) = a 2 + b 2
A = a - jb conjugate is a + jb

| A |= ( a + jb)( a − jb) = a 2 + b 2

A = jb conjugate is -jb

| A |= ( jb )( − jb ) = b 2 = b

A=a conjugate is a = (a + j0) or (a – j0)

| A |= ( a )( a ) = a 2 = a
