zplane

Z-plane zero-pole plot for discrete-time filter System object

Syntax

zplane(filt)
zplane(filt,Name,Value)
[zLoc,pLoc,tLoc] = zplane(filt)

Description

zplane(filt) plots the zeros and poles of the filter System object™, filt, with the unit circle for reference in the filter visualization tool (fvtool). Each zero is represented with a 'o' and each pole with a 'x' on the plot. Multiple zeros and poles are indicated by the multiplicity number shown to the upper right of the zero or pole.

When you call the step method on the filter System object with a fixed-point input, the filter becomes a quantized fixed-point filter, filtQuant. When filtQuant is a quantized filter, zplane(filtQuant) plots the poles and zeros of the quantized and unquantized filters. The symbols and + represent the zeros and poles of the quantized filter filtQuant. The plot includes the unit circle for reference.

zplane(filt,Name,Value) returns the pole zero plot with additional options specified by one or more Name,Value pair arguments.

[zLoc,pLoc,tLoc] = zplane(filt) returns the vector of locations for zeros, poles, and text objects. zLoc is the vector of locations of zeros, pLoc is the vector of locations of poles, and tLoc is the vector of locations of the axes/unit circle line and text objects which are present when there are multiple zeros or poles. In case there are no zeros or poles, zLoc or pLoc is set to the empty matrix [].

Input Arguments

filt

A filter System object.

The following Filter System objects are supported by this analysis function:

Name-Value Pair Arguments

Specify optional comma-separated pairs of Name,Value arguments. Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name must appear inside quotes. You can specify several name and value pair arguments in any order as Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN.

When you specify 'double' or 'single', the function performs double- or single-precision analysis. When you specify 'fixed' , the arithmetic changes depending on the setting of the CoefficientDataType property and whether the System object is locked or unlocked.

 Details for Fixed-Point Arithmetic

When you do not specify the arithmetic for non-CIC structures, the function uses double-precision arithmetic if the filter System object is in an unlocked state. If the System object is locked, the function performs analysis based on the locked input data type. CIC structures only support fixed-point arithmetic.

Output Arguments

zLoc

Vector of locations of zeros.

pLoc

Vector of locations of poles.

tLoc

Vector of locations of axes/unit circle line and text objects.

Examples

Create a Fourth-order IIR digital filter with a cutoff frequency of 0.6. Plot the poles and zeros of this filter.

[b,a] = ellip(4,.5,20,.6);
zplane(b,a);

Quantize the filter by passing a fixed-point input through the filter algorithm. Plot the quantized and unquantized poles and zeros associated with this filter.

iirFilt = dsp.IIRFilter('Numerator',b,'Denominator',a);
in = fi(randn(15,6),1,15,3);
out = iirFilt(in);
zplane(iirFilt)
