Abstract
This paper presents a method for the numerical determination of the z-transform and the modified z-transform of a proper rational function expressed in the Laplace transform complex variables. The method is easy to implement on a computer using any high-level language and does not necessarily require the poles of the s-domain function to be found. The method is equally applicable to single-loop and multi-loop systems.
