Signal flow graph is a graphical representation of algebraic equations. The term causal implies that the output of the system depends only on the present and past samples. Use linear time invariant system model object in simulink. This fact can be derived as a consequence of masons gain formula for signal flow graphs 49,50 or tellegens theorem which implies that an lti signal flow graph is interreciprocal with its transpose. For an lti system, we know that we can relate the input and output using convolution and the impulse response, yt ht xt.
