Analysis of linear digital networks

A framework is presented for the analysis, representation, and evaluation of digital filter structures. Based on the notation of linear signal-flow graphs and their equivalent matrix representation, a set of general linear digital network properties are reviewed, including precedence relations computability, Tellegen's theorem, interreciprocity, and network transposition. These properties are then utilized in developing time and frequency domain analysis techniques and sensitivity analysis techniques. These techniques, in turn, are applied to the comparison of several basic digital filter structures.
