Notes

If some values of b are too close to 0, they are removed. In that case, a BadCoefficients warning is emitted.

The b and a arrays are interpreted as coefficients for positive, descending powers of the transfer function variable. So the inputs $b = [b_0, b_1, ..., b_M]$ and $a =[a_0, a_1, ..., a_N]$ can represent an analog filter of the form:

$$H(s) = \frac {b_0 s^M + b_1 s^{(M-1)} + \cdots + b_M} {a_0 s^N + a_1 s^{(N-1)} + \cdots + a_N}$$

or a discrete-time filter of the form:

$$H(z) = \frac {b_0 z^M + b_1 z^{(M-1)} + \cdots + b_M} {a_0 z^N + a_1 z^{(N-1)} + \cdots + a_N}$$

This "positive powers" form is found more commonly in controls engineering. If :None:None:`M` and :None:None:`N` are equal (which is true for all filters generated by the bilinear transform), then this happens to be equivalent to the "negative powers" discrete-time form preferred in DSP:

$$H(z) = \frac {b_0 + b_1 z^{-1} + \cdots + b_M z^{-M}} {a_0 + a_1 z^{-1} + \cdots + a_N z^{-N}}$$

Although this is true for common filters, remember that this is not true in the general case. If :None:None:`M` and :None:None:`N` are not equal, the discrete-time transfer function coefficients must first be converted to the "positive powers" form before finding the poles and zeros.

Parameters

b : array_like

Numerator polynomial coefficients.

a : array_like

Denominator polynomial coefficients.

Returns

z : ndarray

Zeros of the transfer function.

p : ndarray

Poles of the transfer function.

k : float

System gain.

Return zero, pole, gain (z, p, k) representation from a numerator, denominator representation of a linear filter.

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
