Plotting of Z-plane, poles-zeros of a Transfer function and finding of Transfer function

from poles and zeros values in Matlab
Lab. Objective: To obtain simulation knowledge of transfer function of a system, poles zeros and
plotting of poles zeros, finding transfer function from poles and zeros values in Matlab.

Tools: PC, Matlab.

Theory: Transfer function of a system is the ratio of output of a system to input of a system. In the
transfer function numerator contain zeros of the system and denominator contains poles of a system.

Poles: poles are the values of Z transform variable Z in the denominator of transfer function for which
the system transfer become equal to to infinity and system become unstable.

Zeros: zeros are the values of Z transform variable Z in the numerator of transfer function for which the
system transfer become equal to zero.

Plotting of poles and zeros:
