Wave Digital Dashpot
Starting with a dashpot with coefficient , we have





In the context of waveguide theory, a zero reflectance corresponds to a matched impedance, i.e., the terminating transmission-line impedance equals the characteristic impedance of the line.
The difference equation for the wave digital dashpot is simply
. While this may appear overly degenerate at first,
remember that the interface to the element is a port at impedance
. Thus, in this particular case only, the infinitesimal
waveguide interface is the element itself.
