Transfer function realization of a class of doubly-terminated two- variable lossless networks and their application in linear-phase 2- dimensional digital filter design (Q1073742)

A method is presented for the design of a class of two-dimensional (2-D) stable digital filters satisfying prescribed magnitude and constant group delay specifications. The design method generates a 2-D digital transfer function which is a product of two transfer functions \(H_ 1(Z_ 1,Z_ 2)\) and \(H_ 2(Z_ 1,Z_ 2)\), corresponding to a recursive filter and a nonrecursive filter, respectively. Component \(H_ 1(Z_ 1,Z_ 2)\) ensures a wave-digital realization, that is, the design method guarantees the generation of a corresponding analog function \(H_{1A}(S_ 1,S_ 2)\) which is realizable as the transfer function of a doubly-terminated two-variable lossless network. Thus the design technique ensures that not only a given frequency response is acheved, but also the generated transfer function is realizable as a cascade of a wave-digital filter and a nonrecursive digital filter. The class of filters considered here is one in which the doubly-terminated analog network used to realize the wave digital filter is a cascade of \(S_ 1\)- and \(S_ 2\)-variable lossless two-ports with all their transmission zeros at infinity.
