Using the so-called signature conditionan argument based on a generalized Popov-Yakubovich theorycombined with simple algebraic manipulations performed on appropriate Popov triplets, a characterization of the class of all suboptimal solutions to the four-block Nehari problem is easily derived. In order to underline the advantages of the proposed theory, several representative connections with the well-known embedding technique are also emphasized.
