Parallel SOS to Transfer Function: psos2tf

Figure J.7 lists a matlab function for computing the direct-form transfer-function polynomials $B(z)/A(z)$ from parallel second-order section coefficients. This is in contrast to the existing function sos2tf which converts series second-order sections to transfer-function form.

function [B,A] = psos2tf(sos,g)

if nargin<2, g=1; end

[nsecs,tmp] = size(sos);
if nsecs<1, B=[]; A=[]; return; end
Bs = sos(:,1:3); 
As = sos(:,4:6); 
B = Bs(1,:);  
A = As(1,:);
for i=2:nsecs
  B = conv(B,As(i,:)) + conv(A,Bs(i,:));
  A = conv(A,As(i,:));
