7. Z-Transform Demos

audio
Three Domains - FIR audio The connection between the Z-transform domain of poles and zeros and the time domain, and also the frequency domain is illustrated with several movies where individual zeros or zero pairs are moved continuously.
PeZ GUI audio PeZ (pezdemo) is a MATLAB tool for pole/zero manipulation. Poles and zeros can be placed anywhere on a map of the z-plane. The corresponding time domain (n) and frequency domain (ω) plots will be displayed. When a zero pair (or pole pair) is dragged, the impulse response and frequency response plots will be updated in real time.
PeZ Tutorial These movies describe how to use the PeZ graphical user interface to place/move poles and zeros. They also show how to display the associated impulse and frequency response.
Z to Freq audio A demo that illustrates the connection between the complex Z-plane and the frequency response of a system. The frequency response is obtained by evaluating H(z) on the unit circle in the complex Z-plane.
