This paper presents a generalization of voltage wave digital filters to the complex domain by allowing complex refercnce impedances. The filters realized do not require the property of one-realness. All quantities'are now allowed to be complex giving new d e f~t i o n s for the adaptors, a new criterion for the interconnection of ports, and a new value of the reference impedance far the usual dynamic one-port elements. The theory developed reduces to the known theory of real wave digital filters if all quantities are real.The nalization of even-der classical filters with nal inputs and outputs is obtained with a complex one-port allpass network containing complex tweport adaptors, three-pon circulators and delays. The scattering maaix is highly structured and sparse giving maximum decoupling of the state variables.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
