ROC Property of the z-Transform
• Note that the ROC of combined sequence may be larger
than either ROC
§ This would happen if some pole/zero cancellation
occurs
• Example: π₯ π = π! π’ π − π! π’[π − π]
§ Both sequences are right-sided
§ Both sequences have a pole π§ = π
§ Both have a ROC defined as π§ > π
§ In the combined sequence the pole at π§ = π cancels
with a zero at π§ = π
§ The combined ROC is the entire z plane except z=0
L.M. Po
This zero
cancelled the
pole at π§ = π

Pole-Zero Description of Discrete-Time System
• The zeros of a z-transform π»(π§) are the values of z for which π» π§ = 0.
• The poles of a z-transform are the values of z for which π» π§ = ∞ .

• After factoring the rational transfer function, the roots π½[ of the numerator
polynomial are zeros and roots πΌ[ of denominator polynomial are poles.

Effects of Poles and Zeros
• Poles are the values of π§ that make the denominator of a transfer
function zero.
§ Poles have the biggest effect on the behavior of discrete-time LTI
system
• Zeros are the values of π§ that make the numerator of a transfer function
zero.
§ Zeros tend to modulate, to a greater or lesser degree depending on
their position relative to the poles.
• The poles of the system can be found if its transfer function is known.
• Both zeros and poles are in general complex numbers.
L.M. Po
35
Pole-Zero Plot
• A very powerful tool for the discrete-time system
analysis and design is a complex plane called z-plane,
on which poles and zeros of the transfer function are
plotted.

System Stability based Pole Locations
• The position of the poles and zeros on the z-plane can give clue about the way a
discrete-time system will behave.
• One reason the poles of a system are so useful is that they determine whether the
system is stable or not.
• The system is stable if the poles lie inside the unit circle, which is a circle of unit
radius on the z-plane.
• Since poles are complex numbers, this requires that their magnitudes be less than
one.
• Mathematically, the region of stability can be described as

Stable Causal LTI System
Im

• If the magnitude of each pole is less than one,
the poles are less than one unit’s distance from
the center of the unit circle, and the system is
stable. The ROC includes unit circle.
• If any of the poles of a system lie outside the
unit circle, the system is unstable.
• If the outermost pole lies on the unit circle, the
filter is described as being marginally stable

• The poles in this case are purely real, without any imaginary component. Clearly the
pole at z = −1.430 lies outside the unit circle, so the system is unstable.
