Generalized Scattering Coefficients
Generalizing the scattering coefficients at a multi-tube intersection
(§C.12) by replacing the usual real tube wave impedance
by the complex generalized wave impedance
from Eq.

(
C.152), or, as a special case, the conical-section
wave impedance
![$ R_A^\pm (s)=[\rho c/A(x)]/[s/(s \pm 1/t_x)]$](http://www.dsprelated.com/josimages_new/pasp/img4352.png)
from Eq.

(
C.151),
we obtain the junction-
pressure phasor [
436]
where

is the complex, frequency-dependent, incoming,
acoustic
admittance of the

th branch at the junction,

is
the corresponding outgoing acoustic admittance,

is the
incoming traveling
pressure-wave phasor in branch

,

is the outgoing wave, and

is the admittance of a load at
the junction, such as a coupling to another simulation. For
generality, the formula is given as it appears in the multivariable
case.
