Taking a look at earlier posts allows the guesses:
n=5;d[n+1]=0;p=43/500;q=1;conj=Conjugate;

after entering f as shown below and
Cases[f, _Complex, Infinity] // Length
we see that there are 192 complex terms in f, but this is not what the 
error message is about.

In[12]:= Cases[
  simpf = Simplify[ComplexExpand[f]], _Complex, \[Infinity]]
Out[12]= {}

In[13]:= 
FindMinimum[{simpf,Sum[a[i]^2+b[i]^2,{i,0,n}]==1},Variables[simpf]]//Chop
Out[13]= 
{-1.,{a[0]->0,a[1]->0.707107,a[2]->0,a[3]->0,a[4]->0,a[5]->0,b[0]->0,b[1]->0.707107,b[2]->0,b[3]->0,b[4]->0,b[5]->0}}

In[14]:= 
NMinimize[{simpf,Sum[a[i]^2+b[i]^2,{i,0,n}]==1},Variables[simpf]]//Chop
Out[14]= 
{-1.,{a[0]->0,a[1]->0.906539,a[2]->0,a[3]->0,a[4]->0,a[5]->0,b[0]->0,b[1]->0.422122,b[2]->0,b[3]->0,b[4]->0,b[5]->0}}

In[15]:= a[1]^2+b[1]^2/.Last[%]
Out[15]= 1.

and again |d[1]|=1 seems to be the solution.
