Coefficients of a transfer function

AI Thread Summary
For the system defined by the equation y(n) + a1y(n-1) + a2y(n-2) = bx(n), the transfer function is derived as H(z) = bz^2/(z^2 + a1z + a2). To ensure the system is realizable, the poles of the transfer function must lie within the unit circle, indicating BIBO stability. Additionally, the region of convergence (ROC) must be right-sided to confirm causality. The conditions on the coefficients a1 and a2 can be determined using the quadratic formula to analyze the roots of the characteristic equation. Understanding these relationships is crucial for system design and stability analysis.

for a system defined as y(n) + a1y(n-1) + a2y(n-2) = bx(n), for what values of a1, a2, and b is the system realizable?

i know that the transfer function is obtained by the following
H(z) = Y(z)/X(z)
H(z) = b/(1 + a1z-1 + a2z-2)
H(z) = bz2/(z2 + a1z + a2)

i also know that the poles have to be in the unit circle to be BIBO stable and that the ROC should be right sided for it to be causal as well. but I'm unsure on how to determine the conditions on the coefficients.

You can use the quadratic formula to express the poles of the transfer function in terms of the coefficients a1 and a2.
