SUMMARY

A system transfer function with poles located at 1, j, and cos(pi/4) + j*sin(pi/4) is not stable. Stability in the z-plane requires all poles to be strictly inside the unit circle. Poles on the unit circle, such as the one at 1, indicate marginal stability, which does not guarantee convergence. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding pole locations in relation to the unit circle for stability analysis.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of z-transform concepts
  • Knowledge of stability criteria in control systems
  • Familiarity with the unit circle in the complex plane
  • Basic principles of transfer functions
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the implications of pole locations in the z-plane
  • Learn about marginal stability and its effects on system behavior
  • Research the concept of convergence in control systems
  • Explore examples of transfer functions with poles on the unit circle
USEFUL FOR

Control system engineers, students preparing for exams in system stability, and anyone involved in analyzing z-transform stability in digital signal processing.

If a system transfer function has a pole equal with 1 , j, cos(pi/4)+j*sin(pi/4) in other words its location is on the margin of the unit circle, it`s the system stable? In my opinion it`s not stable because we have a sum of 1 which doesn't converge but I am not sure. Everywhere I've read it says the poles must be inside the unit circle but it doesn't say anything about poles on the margin of the unit circle. Can somebody give me a precise answer? Thanks!
Edit: I am referring to z-plane

What does this (above) mean?

What's the z-plane? Do you mean the plane z = 0?
 
Iam talking about z transform and stability analysis.
Like if H(z)=z/(z-1), pole is 1. is it stable?
I have exam in 5 hours and i need an answer .
