Signal Flow Graph

The signal flow graph is a simplified version of the  block diagram.

  • Branches and nodes delete the blocks of the transfer function, summing symbols, and take-off places.
  • In a signal flow graph, the transfer function is referred to as transmittance.
  • A graphical representation of algebraic equations is a signal flow graph.

The loops are depicted below:

Both the loops are non-touching here.

3 forward paths and 2 non-touching loops and 3 -touching loops are present in this SFG.

Key Terms:

Forward Path: It is a path from input to output.

Loop: It is a path whcih terminates on the same node where it is started.

Non Touching Loops: If there is no common node between 2 or more loops, then it is called non touching loops.

Input Node: The node thar have only outgoing branches

Output node: The node that have only incoming branches.

Chain/Link node: The node which have both incoming and outgoing branch.

NOTE: While selecting a forward path or loop, each node should be touched only once.
