What is a interlaced zero in transfer function?

In summary, the sentence is discussing how adding a direct feed-through can change the order of poles and zeros in a transfer function, and the implications this has for stability in feedback systems.

A reading assignment I have read said "By adding a direct feed-through to a
collocated system, the transfer function can be modified from containing
resonant poles followed by interlaced zeros, to zeros followed by interlaced
poles." I don`t konw what this sentence mean. What is the resonant poles followed by interlaced zeros and resonant poles followed by interlaced zeros?
(I know that In feedback system, stability can be determined by location of ploes. And if every pole exists in real negative axis, we can call the system stable.)

In this sentence, the "resonant poles followed by interlaced zeros" refers to a transfer function that has a pole at each resonance frequency, followed by a zero at each resonance frequency. This type of transfer function is often used in feedback systems, as it can provide stability (as you mentioned, if all the poles are located in the real negative axis, the system is stable). By adding a direct feed-through to the collocated system, it is possible to modify the transfer function so that the zeros come first, followed by the poles. This results in a different type of transfer function with different characteristics.

What is a interlaced zero in transfer function?

An interlaced zero in a transfer function is a type of zero that appears in pairs on the real axis of the complex plane. The two zeros are located at symmetric points on either side of the imaginary axis.

How does an interlaced zero affect the transfer function?

An interlaced zero can significantly impact the behavior of a transfer function. It can introduce additional poles and zeros, which can alter the stability and frequency response of the system.

What is the significance of an interlaced zero in control systems?

In control systems, an interlaced zero can cause a phenomenon known as "gain peaking," where the gain of a system increases at certain frequencies. This can lead to instability and poor performance of the control system.

How can an interlaced zero be identified in a transfer function?

An interlaced zero can be identified by plotting the poles and zeros of the transfer function on the complex plane. If there are two zeros that appear symmetrically on either side of the imaginary axis, it is likely an interlaced zero.

Can an interlaced zero be eliminated from a transfer function?

Yes, an interlaced zero can be eliminated by manipulating the transfer function using techniques such as pole-zero cancellation or adding additional poles and zeros. However, this should be done carefully as it can change the behavior of the system.
