The wave digital filter derived from a symmetric lattice reference filter includes two one-port networks each of which consists of storage elements interconnected by arithmetic units. Each arithmetic unit comprises a digital multiplier and three digital adders. Higher order filters thus require a substantial amount of arithmetic hardware. In accordance with the present invention, the amount of arithmetic hardware in the wave digital filter derived from a symmetric lattice filter is substantially reduced by multiplexing an arithmetic unit in each one-port network. In particular, a single arithmetic unit in each one-port is successively configured as each individual arithmetic unit of the non-multiplexed one-port. Intermediate output signals are stored in temporarily vacant storage elements. In one described embodiment of the present invention, the two multiplexed one-port networks of the wave digital filter are further multiplexed to require only one arithmetic unit.
