General Series Adaptor for Force Waves

In the more general case of $ N$ ports being connected in series, we have the physical constraints

\begin{eqnarray*}
&& v_1(n) = v_2(n) = \cdots = v_N(n) \isdef v_J(n)\\
&& f_1(n) + f_2(n) + \cdots + f_N(n) = 0
\end{eqnarray*}

The derivation is the dual of that in the parallel case (cf. Eq.(F.13)), i.e., force and velocity are interchanged, and impedance and admittance are interchanged:

\begin{eqnarray*}
0 &=& \sum_{i=1}^N f_i \\
&=& \sum_{i=1}^NR_i\left(v^{+}_i-v^{-}_i\right)\\
&=& \sum_{i=1}^NR_i\left(2v^{+}_i-v_J\right)\\
\,\,\Rightarrow\,\,\quad
\sum_{j=1}^N R_j v_J &=& \sum_{i=1}^N 2R_i v^{+}_i\\
\,\,\Rightarrow\,\,\quad
v_J &=& \frac{\sum_{i=1}^N 2R_i v^{+}_i}{\sum_{j=1}^N R_j} .
\end{eqnarray*}

The outgoing wave variables are given by

$\displaystyle v^{-}_i(n) = v_J(n) - v^{+}_i(n)
$
