What is a causal transfer function?
When a system has more poles than finite zeros (i.e. the transfer function of the system is strictly proper) then the system is causal. If the transfer function of a system has relative degree equal to 0 then the system is causal and there is also instantaneous transfer between input and output.
What is discrete time transfer function?
The discrete transfer function of a system is a discrete representation of the continuous system in the s-domain discretized according to the sampling time Ts. The output H(z) of Discrete Transfer Function is calculated using following formula: Where m+1 and n+1 are the number of numerator and denominator coefficients.
How do you know if a discrete time system is causal?
A discrete-time system is causal if: Whenever the input x[n] = 0, and there are no initial conditions, the output is y[n] = 0. The output y[n] does not depend on future inputs. where x[n] is the input and y[n] is the output is nonlinear but time invariant.
What are the limitations of transfer function?
The main limitation of transfer functions is that they can only be used for linear systems. While many of the concepts for state space modeling and analysis extend to nonlinear systems, there is no such analog for trans- fer functions and there are only limited extensions of many of the ideas to nonlinear systems.
