Z TRANSFORM USING MATLAB
Objective:
i. Able to understand the process of switching space using calculus and algebraic equations.
ii. Understood and applied the inverse z transform to obtain the standard form ratio of polynomials in
z.
iii. Able to perform MATLAB coding to plot the simulation graph of poles and zero and identify region
of convergence.
Summary of Theory
In numerical commands of transfer function representations with a general form for many z transforms
is as the ratio of polynomials in the z variables as X(z) is usually a rational function in z; below where P
is the denominator polynomial & D is the numerator polynomial. The pole-zero plot of X(z) is a graphic
display of X(z) through its poles and zeros in the z-plane (z). Conventionally, each pole is represented
by an "x,". Zero is represented by an "o." The concept map relates all the representations in a discrete
time system.
P (Z ) meaning reperesent ZEROS∈cartesian planes
X ( z)= →
Q(Z) meaning represent POLES∈cartesian

Procedure
1. Plot the complex poles and zeros with zplane using MATLAB coding in the script and
press Run. Make sure to name scripts not as built-in MATLAB functions; but as the
shadow (-hide) of those functions. Name the script NAME.m.
