Poles and Zeros of Time Domain Response:

For the given network function, a pole zero plot can be drawn which gives useful information regarding the critical frequencies. The Poles and Zeros of Time Domain Response can also be obtained from pole zero plot of a network function. Consider an array of poles shown in Fig. 14.10.

In Fig. 14.10 s1 and s3 are complex conjugate poles, whereas s2 and s4 are real poles. If the poles are real, the quadratic function is

s1 and s3 constitute complex conjugate poles. If the poles are complex conjugate, then the quadratic function is

Consider a network having transfer admittance Y(s). If the input voltage V(s) is applied to the network, the corresponding current is given by

  3. Measure the distances Ml1, Ml2,….,Mlm of a given pole from each of the other poles.
  4. Measure the angle Φla, Φlb,….,Φln of the line joining that pole to each of the other zeros.
  5. Measure the angle Φl1, Φl2,….,Φlm of the line joining that pole to each of the
    other poles.
  6. Substitute these values in required residue equation.
