PAIRCONJ Function
Sorts one-dimensional array of complex values into complex conjugate pairs.
Usage
result = PAIRCONJ(z)
Input Parameters
z—A one-dimensional array of complex values.
Returned Value
result—Complex array with values sorted into complex conjugate pairs.
Keywords
None.
Discussion
PAIRCONJ returns a one-dimensional array containing the input data, but rearranged into complex conjugate pairs. If there are values in z that do not appear to match up, they are put at the end of the output array. If there are an odd number of complex values in z (with the imaginary part not equal to zero), the function returns 0 and an error message.
Example
In this example, PAIRCONJ is used on two sets of complex conjugate pairs. PAIRCONJ returns the data as one set of ordered complex conjugate pairs.
; The input is a simple array of complex conjugates all mixed up.
z = COMPLEX([2,1,2,1],[9,-3,-9,3])
PM, z
; Complex values are output in conjugate pairs.
z2 = PAIRCONJ(z)
PM, z2
