ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for locating a plurality of roots of a line spectrum pair expression on a unit circle. The method comprises the steps of: (1) receiving an initial value for locating a first site on the unit circle; (2) receiving a step value for defining an arc-distance on the unit circle; (3) generating intervals on the unit circle, each having a lower limit and an upper limit; the lower limit of the initial interval is the initial value and the upper limit of the initial interval is displaced on the unit circle from the initial value by the arc-distance; each succeeding interval has its lower limit coincident with the upper limit of the next preceding interval and has its upper limit displaced on the unit circle from its lower limit by the arc-distance; (4) evaluating the expression for at least the upper limit and the lower limit of each respective interval; (5) recognizing a root of the expression when the expression changes sign within an interval; (6) designating each such interval as a solution interval; and (7) generating the lower and upper limits of each solution interval to identify where the root is located. The apparatus comprises a waveform generator which receives the initial value and the step value and defines the arc-distance, and generates the intervals; a zero detector for recognizing roots of the expression when the expression changes sign.
