What are poles and zeros?

The concept of poles and zeros in filters was introduced to me during our lab (our lab isn't sync with our lecture) through the pole-zero plot generation of filters in MATLAB. I didn't get its importance until it was mentioned in our lecture that…

How do zeros outside the unit circle affect the stability of a system?

I'm learning about poles and zeros of transfer functions in my signals class and we have just covered the effects of poles outside the unit circle on the pole-zero plot. Intuitively, it makes sense that a pole outside the circle would cause the…

Does the system function H(z) for a filter always have symmetry above and below the real x-axis?

When I look at the Pole/Zero diagrams in the DSP books it appears that whatever pole or zero is above the real x-axis from: $$\omega=0 \rightarrow \pi$$ is always reflected as a mirror image below the x-axis from: $$\omega=0 \rightarrow -\pi$$. …

How to find difference equation, given poles and zeros?

I'm given poles at ${1+i}$ and ${1-i}$, and zero at $0$. I have to find the difference equation and find out whether the system is stable. Now I found in a similar question, which structure I tried to follow ( How to find system function, H(z) in…

How to find system function, H(z) in the z-domain, given zero-pole plot of the system?

I'm given a zero-pole plot (Real/Imaginary Plane) of a system in which poles occur at $\frac{-9}{10}$, $\frac{9}{10}$, and zeros occur at $\frac{10}{9}j$, $\frac{-10}{9}j$. An additional zero occurs at negative infinity. I'm also given that…

Confused with region where root locus lies and sketch

How will be the root locus of $$G(s) = \frac K { (s^2+2s+2)(s^2+2s+5) } $$ look like? The poles will be -1+2i, -1-2i, -1-i, -1+i which lies on the same vertical line and i am confused about the region where root locus lies in.

What is difference between repeated poles and distinct poles?

What is difference between repeated poles and distinct poles? As far as i am able to understand is that repeated poles are those that have same value of both x and y coordinates while distinct poles are those that have either same value of x…

Conjugate Pole Pairs

I am currently studying for an exam for a Speech Processing course I am taking and stumbled across this question in one of the sample exams: I began to plot the pole-zero configuration placing my poles on the unit circle at points +j and -j as well…

When do we have a minimum phase couple

I am a DSP newbie and I am really confused after reading Chapter two of "An Introduction to Digital Signal Processing by J. H. Karl". On page 32, first paragraph, the book defines a minimum phase couplet as one with zeros OUTSIDE the unit circle…

Poles and Zeros

Got a couple of questions here guys I have a unit circle with just 1 pole and a lot of zeros. What condition could result to this and does it have any effect on the dsp system Why do poles appear as real/complex conjugate pairs. Thanks
