How to compute square root?

GNU Radio

Hi,
I am doing linc transmitter by using gnu radio.In which i want to
separate
OFDM signal in two constant envelope(software part) and then power
amplify
it seprately, finally combine two signal(hardware part).I have done the
software part in Matlab and here is the code for that.
r=abs(normal_data);
theta=angle(normal_data);
%normal_data=r.exp(itheta);
rmax=max(r);
e1=j.normal_data.sqrt((rmax^2)./(r.^2)-1);
s1=normal_data+e1;
plot(s1,'b’)
s2=normal_data-e1;
plot(s2,'r’)

Here s1 and s2 are two signals with constant envelope.As i am new to
GRC, is
it possible to compute square root, which block should i use.
Thanks
Regards

There is no square root block, but there are:

gr.complex_to_mag:
computes sqrt(re^2 + im^2)

gr.complex_to_mag_squared:
computes re^2 + im^2
