Sketching Frequency domain repsonses

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on sketching the z-plane pole-zero diagram for the transfer function G(z) = (z² + z + 1)/z³. It identifies a pole at zero and two zeros at -1 on the real axis. The user initially struggles with calculating the magnitude and phase frequency response but later clarifies that they need to evaluate points around the unit circle, starting from 1 on the real axis. The importance of determining distances to points on the unit circle for frequency response calculations is emphasized. The conversation highlights the process of understanding pole-zero placement and its impact on frequency response analysis.

Homework Statement


Sketch the z-plane pole zero diagram for:
G(z) = \frac{z^{2} + z + 1}{z^{3}}

Also sketch the time and frequency domain repsonses, the latter in amplitude and phase.

Homework Equations



G(z) = \frac{Y(z)}{X(z)}

Zeros when Y(z) = 0;

Poles when X(z) = 0

For frequency reponse:
|G(\omega)| = \frac{\prod Distance from Zeros}{\prod Distance From Poles}

\angle G(\omega) = \sum Angles from Zeros - \sum Angles from Poles


The Attempt at a Solution



I have found that there is a pole at zero and two zeros at -0.5 on the real axis.

However I cannot figure out how to calculate or even sketch from inspection the magnitude and phase frequency response.

I have looked at a few different sources and have got somewhat confused at to what point this calculation should be made. Say for example I wanted to figure out the magnitude response at \omega = 0, \pi and 2\pi. Would I calculate these distances to a point on the unit circle that corresponds to this value of \omega or to a point on the real axis, or another point altogether.

I'm confused! Any help at all would be appreciated!

Ok so I figured this out straight away after posting. I meant to say that I found two zeros at -1. I then realized that I need to calculate for points around the unit circle, starting from 1 on the real axis and moving anti clockwise around the unit circle. Thanks for anyone that took time to read this.
