A pole-zero plot shows the location in the complex plane of the poles and zeros of the transfer function of a dynamic system, such as a controller, compensator, sensor, equalizer, filter, or communications channel. By convention, the poles of the system are indicated in the plot by an X while the zeros are indicated by a circle or O.
The closed-loop transfer function is measured at the output. The output signal can be calculated from the closed-loop transfer function and the input signal. Signals may be waveforms, images, or other types of data streams. An example of a closed-loop block diagram, from which a transfer function may be computed, is shown below:
When the transfer function method is used, attention is focused on the locations in the s-plane where the transfer function is undefined (the poles) or zero (the zeroes; see Zeroes and poles). Two different transfer functions are of interest to the designer. If the feedback loops in the system are opened (that is prevented from operating) one ...
In this case a point that is neither a pole nor a zero is viewed as a pole (or zero) of order 0. A meromorphic function may have infinitely many zeros and poles. This is the case for the gamma function (see the image in the infobox), which is meromorphic in the whole complex plane, and has a simple pole at every non-positive integer.
For a system to be stable, its transfer function must have no poles whose real parts are positive. If the transfer function is strictly stable, the real parts of all poles will be negative and the transient behavior will tend to zero in the limit of infinite time. The steady-state output will be:
The root locus plots the poles of the closed loop transfer function in the complex s-plane as a function of a gain parameter (see pole–zero plot). Evans also invented in 1948 an analog computer to compute root loci, called a "Spirule" (after "spiral" and " slide rule "); it found wide use before the advent of digital computers .
The function is defined by the three poles in the left half of the complex frequency plane. Log density plot of the transfer function () in complex frequency space for the third-order Butterworth filter with =1. The three poles lie on a circle of unit radius in the left half-plane.
After applying this rule, the zero poles should be neglected, i.e. if there are no other unstable poles, then the open-loop transfer function () should be considered stable. If the open-loop transfer function G ( s ) {\displaystyle G(s)} is stable, then the closed-loop system is unstable, if and only if, the Nyquist plot encircle the point −1 ...
