Exercise · ZW-DISCRETE-TRANSFER-FUNCTION-004 · ★☆☆ Basic
For \(H(z)=\frac{1}{1-0.5z^{-1}}\), where is the pole?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- C. At \(z=0.5\)
Explanation
The pole appears where the denominator vanishes, namely at \(z=0.5\). The option with a negative sign confuses the sign of the coefficient.
Review the concept: Discrete transfer function
The discrete transfer function \(H(z)\) is the Z-transform of the impulse response \(h[n]\) of a discrete-time LTI system, with \(H(z)=Y(z)/X(z)\) under zero initial conditions.
\[H(z)=\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} h[n]\,z^{-n}\]
