Pole/zero analysis is a useful method for studying the behavior of linear, time-invariant networks, and may be applied to the design of analog circuits, such as amplifiers and filters. It may be used for determining the stability of a design, and it may also be used to calculate the poles and zeroes for specification in a POLE statement as Using Pole/Zero Analysis describes.
Pole/zero analysis is characterized by the use of the .PZ statement, as opposed to pole/zero and Laplace transfer function modeling, which employ the LAPLACE and POLE functions respectively. These are described in Using Pole/Zero Analysis.
