A root of less evil [digital signal processing].

This work discusses several methods for estimating the square root of a number, with particular focus on high-speed techniques for approximating the square root of a single value as well as the square root of a sum of squares for quadrature (I/Q) vector magnitude estimation. The paper presents the N...
