Most standard wave digital filters are derived from passive reference circuits where only parallel and series connections between two-terminal elements occur. In this paper, a framework for the automated generation of wave digital structures is presented where the reference circuit is assumed to comprise arbitrary connection types. It is shown how the representation of the underlying graph by its SPQR-tree is related to a suitable adaptor structure and how this concept can be generalized to also cope with additional ideal transformers. To this end, suitable replacement graphs are derived such that networks with multi-terminal elements can also he treated with standard separation algorithm.
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.
