Lti systems in the time domain

One of the most general ways of defining an LTI system is by expressing its output at some time $n$ as a weighted sum of values of the input and output at a finite number various other times. If all those times are at or prior to $n$, such systems a system is causal. In terms of a difference equation, the system definition would look something like this: $y[n]~=~ b_0 x[n] + b_1 x[n-1]+ b_2 x[n-2] + \cdots + b_M x[n-M]-a_1 y[n-1] - a_2 y[n-2]+ \cdots - a_N y[n-N]$This kind of system can also be displayed as a block diagram:

CAPTION.
In the block diagram, the $z^{-1}$ blocks represent time delays, the triangles represent multiplications, and the $\Sigma$ blocks represent summations of the signals being input into them. The output at time $n$ is a weighted sum of the previous $M$ input values (along with the current value) and previous $N$ output values.

Lti systems in the z-domain

Consider again the input/output relationship of a causal LTI system: $y[n]~=~ b_0 x[n] + b_1 x[n-1]+ b_2 x[n-2] + \cdots + b_M x[n-M]-a_1 y[n-1] - a_2 y[n-2]+ \cdots - a_N y[n-N]$We can take the z-transform of this whole equation, bearing in mind that the transform is a linear operation and that delays of $n_0$ in time correspond to multiplications by $z^{-n_0}$ in the z-domain. That would leave us with this: $Y(z)=~ b_0 X(z) + b_1 z^{-1} X(z) + b_2 z^{-2} X(z) + \cdots b_M z^{-M} X(z)- a_1 z^{-1} Y(z) - a_2 z^{-2} Y(z) - \cdots - a_N z^{-N} Y(z)$From there we can do a little rearranging: $\begin{align*}Y(z)&=b_0 X(z) + b_1 z^{-1} X(z) + b_2 z^{-2} X(z) + \cdots b_M z^{-M} X(z)- a_1 z^{-1} Y(z) - a_2 z^{-2} Y(z) - \cdots - a_N z^{-N} Y(z)\\ Y(z)+ a_1 z^{-1} Y(z) a_2 z^{-2} Y(z) + \cdots + a_N z^{-N} Y(z)&=b_0 X(z) + b_1 z^{-1} X(z) + b_2 z^{-2} X(z) + \cdots b_M z^{-M}X(z)\\ Y(z)(1+a_1 z^{-1} + a_2 z^{-2} + \cdots + a_Nz^{-N})&=X(z)(b_0 + b_1 z^{-1} + b_2 z^{-2} + \cdots b_M z^{-M})\\ H(z)=\frac{Y(z)}{X(z)}&=\frac{b_0 + b_1 z^{-1} + b_2 z^{-2} + \cdots b_M z^{-M}}{1+a_1 z^{-1} + a_2 z^{-2} + \cdots + a_Nz^{-N}} \end{align*}$This $H(z)$, which is a rational function in terms of $z$, is called the system's transfer function .

The transfer function: poles and zeroes, roc, and stability

So we see that the transfer function for one of the most common classes of LTI systems--in which the output is a weighted sum of a finite number of past inputs and outputs--is a rational function in terms of $z$: $H(z)=\frac{b_0 + b_1 z^{-1} + b_2 z^{-2} + \cdots b_M z^{-M}}{1+a_1 z^{-1} + a_2 z^{-2} + \cdots + a_Nz^{-N}}$We can express this function in terms of positive powers of $z$ by simple factoring, and then according to the fundamental theorem of algebra, we can represent the numerator and denominator polynomials with respect to their roots: $\begin{align*}H(z)&=\frac{b_0 + b_1 z^{-1} + b_2 z^{-2} + \cdots b_M z^{-M}}{1+a_1 z^{-1} + a_2 z^{-2} + \cdots + a_Nz^{-N}}\\&=\frac{z^{-M}(b_0z^M+b_1z^{M-1}+b_2z^{M-2}+\cdots+b_M)}{z^{-N}(z^N+a_1z^{N-1}+a_2z^{N-2}+\cdots+a_N)}\\&=\frac{z^{-M}b_0(z-\zeta_1)(z-\zeta_2)\cdots(z-\zeta_M)}{z^{-N}(z-p_1)(z-p_2)\cdots(z-p_N)} \end{align*}$The values of $z$ for which the numerator is zero are called zeros , and the values for which the denominator is zero are called poles .

Oyerinde Reply
Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body, while physiology is the study of the function of the body. Anatomy looks at the body's organs and systems, while physiology looks at how those organs and systems work together to keep the body functioning.
