Wave-digital polarity and current inverters and their application to virtual analog audio processing

摘要

Wave digital filters (WDFs) allow for efficient real-time simulation of classic analog circuitry by DSP. This paper introduces two new nonenergic two-port WDF adaptors that allow mixing wave digital subnetworks adopting different polarity and sign conventions and extends the definitions of absorbed instantaneous and steady-state pseudopower to the case in which the active sign convention is used. This new knowledge is applied to a WDF triode tube amplifier model and it is shown to result in a more faithful reproduction of the simulated system than the previous model.
