The z-Transform
Stability
A digital computer often hosts the controller algorithm in a feedback control system.
Computer control is used today for chemical processes, aircraft control, machine
tools, and many common processes.
Since the computer receives data only at specific intervals, it is necessary to develop
a method for describing and analyzing the performance of computer control systems.
Advantages
• Improved sensitivity.
• Use digital components.
• Control algorithms easily modified.
• Many systems inherently are digital.
Disadvantages
• Develop complex math algorithms.
• Lose information during conversions due to technical problems.
• Most signals continuous in nature.
The sampling theorem of Nyquist and Shannon states that, for the signal to be
accurately reconstructed from the samples, it must have no frequency component
greater than half the sample rate.
Letting
z-transform
Two methods for finding the inverse z-transform (the sampled time function
from its z-transform) will be described:
(1) Partial-fraction expansion (PFE)
(2) Power series method
Regardless of the method used, remember that, since the z-transform came
from the sampled waveform, the inverse z-transform will yield only the
values of the time function at the sampling instants.

The complete difference equation algorithm that provides the PID controller is
obtained by adding the three terms to obtain [we use x(kT) = x(k)]
