Abstract
The ith moment of a discrete data system with constant sampling period T and impulse response g(nT) is defined as. βi=Σn=0t8 (nT)ig(nT). The z-transform of g(nT) is G(z). Letting G*(s) = G(z) z=exp (Ts) it is shown that. βi=(-1)i( diG*(s) dsi)s=0. The algorithm for the calculation of βi from a rational z-transfer function is developed. Moments matching for the simplification of z-transfer functions is discussed. An example is used to illustrate the power of the method.
