On the Zero-freeness of Tall Multirate Linear Systems

In this paper, tall discrete-time linear systems with multirate outputs are studied. In particular, we focus on their zeros. In systems and control literature zeros of multirate systems are defined as those of their corresponding time-invariant blocked systems. Hence, the zeros of tall blocked systems resulting from blocking of linear systems with multirate outputs are mainly explored in this work. We specifically investigate zeros of tall blocked systems formed by blocking tall multirate linear systems with generic parameter matrices. It is demonstrated that tall blocked systems generically have no finite nonzero zeros; however, they may have zeros at the origin or at infinity depending on the choice of blocking delay and the input, state and output dimensions.
