            Abstract : 
In this paper, a new sensitivity measure for state-space digital filters is proposed. The new measure is a modified form of Tavsanoglu and Thiele´s measure, but the new one has three advantages: (1) it is more precise than Tavsanoglu and Thiele´s measure when the state-space realizations of a digital filter contain 0 and ±1 coefficients; (2) it can be used to explain why the sparse Schur and Hessenberg realizations will give a better actual sensitivity performance than the corresponding fully parametrized optimal realizations; (3) it is equal to the global roundoff noise gain G=tr(QW)+γ obtained by Hwang under the dynamic constraint
