Analog and Digital Filter Design: System Transfer Function, Poles and Zeros, Pole-Zero Pairing

This document discusses analog and digital filter design, including: 1. It defines the transfer function as the ratio of the output Laplace transform to the input Laplace transform for a linear time-invariant system. 2. Transfer functions can be represented as rational functions in s or z-domains, with poles and zeros corresponding to the roots of the denominator and numerator polynomials. 3. Systems can be decomposed into first-order sections and biquadratic sections to facilitate implementation and reduce sensitivity to coefficient variations.

Miroslav Lutovac and Dejan Tosic


Overview

• Pole-zero-gain representation
• Examples
• MATLAB freqs, roots
• MATLAB freqz, zplane, tf2pzk, tf2sos
Transfer function

Continuous-time LTI systems


What is transfer function?
• We consider a relaxed, single-input,
single-output, continuous-time LTI system
described by means of a linear constant-
coefficients differential equation
• We assume a causal excitation – input
• Transfer function, H(s), is the ratio of the
output Laplace transform, Y(s), and the
input Laplace transform, X(s)
Y ( s)
H ( s) 
X ( s)
H(s) is a rational function in s
• Transfer function is a ratio of two
polynomials in the complex frequency s
• For s = jw, H(s) is the frequency response
of the LTI system
• Many properties of LTI systems can be
closely associated with the characteristics
of the transfer function in the s-plane
Poles and zeros
• Roots of the transfer function denominator
A(s) are called the poles
• We compute the poles from the equation
A(s) = denominator(H(s)) = 0
• Roots of the transfer function numerator
B(s) are called the zeros
• We obtain the zeros from the equation
B(s) = numerator(H(s)) = 0
Pole-zero representation

zeros

poles

Polynomials A(s) and B(s) have real coefficients, so zeros and


poles must be real or occur in complex conjugate pairs
First-order sections & biquads
the first-order
transfer function

the second-order
transfer function

Systems described by the first- A system characterized by the second-


order transfer function we call order transfer function we call a
first-order sections biquadratic section or biquad

Any transfer function can be expressed as


a product of first-order and second-order transfer functions, so
any LTI system can be resolved into first-order sections and biquads
freqs

A = [1 0.4 1];
B = [0.2 0.3 1];
w = 0.1:0.01:10;
H = freqs(B,A,w);
M = abs(H);
P = angle(H);
subplot(2,1,1);
loglog(w,M); grid;
ylabel('Magnitude');
title('H =
freqs(B,A,w)');
subplot(2,1,2);
semilogx(w,P); grid;
ylabel('Phase (rad)');
xlabel('\omega');
roots

A = [1 0.4 1];
B = [0.2 0.3 1];
z = roots(B);
p = roots(A);
plot(real(z),imag(z),'ro',…
real(p),imag(p),'bx')

To reduce the sensitivity of a transfer function with respect to deviations of the


coefficient values, it is preferable to represent the transfer function by a product of
the first-order and second-order transfer functions
Lowpass transfer function
Highpass transfer function
