Discrete-time Linear Time Invariant system in transfer function form.
Represents the system as the transfer function :math:`H(z)=\sum_=0^N bN-i z^i / \sum_j=0^M aM-j z^j`, where :math:`b` are elements of the numerator `num`, :math:`a` are elements of the denominator `den`, and ``N == len(b) - 1``, ``M == len(a) - 1``. Discrete-time `TransferFunction` systems inherit additional functionality from the `dlti` class.
Parameters ---------- *system: arguments The `TransferFunction` class can be instantiated with 1 or 2 arguments. The following gives the number of input arguments and their interpretation:
* 1: `dlti` system: (`StateSpace`, `TransferFunction` or `ZerosPolesGain`) * 2: array_like: (numerator, denominator) dt: float, optional Sampling time s of the discrete-time systems. Defaults to `True` (unspecified sampling time). Must be specified as a keyword argument, for example, ``dt=0.1``.
See Also -------- ZerosPolesGain, StateSpace, dlti tf2ss, tf2zpk, tf2sos
Notes ----- Changing the value of properties that are not part of the `TransferFunction` system representation (such as the `A`, `B`, `C`, `D` state-space matrices) is very inefficient and may lead to numerical inaccuracies.
If (numerator, denominator) is passed in for ``*system``, coefficients for both the numerator and denominator should be specified in descending exponent order (e.g., ``z^2 + 3z + 5`` would be represented as ``1, 3, 5``).
Examples -------- Construct the transfer function with a sampling time of 0.5 seconds:
.. math:: H(z) = \fracz^2 + 3z + 3z^2 + 2z + 1
>>> from scipy import signal
>>> num = 1, 3, 3 >>> den = 1, 2, 1
>>> signal.TransferFunction(num, den, 0.5) TransferFunctionDiscrete( array( 1., 3., 3.), array( 1., 2., 1.), dt: 0.5 )
