Software for Partial Fraction Expansion

Figure 6.3 illustrates the use of residuez (§J.5) for performing a partial fraction expansion on the transfer function

$$H(z) \eqsp \frac{1 + 0.5^3 z^{-3}}{1 + 0.9^5z^{-5}}$$

The complex-conjugate terms can be combined to obtain two real second-order sections, giving a total of one real first-order section in parallel with two real second-order sections, as discussed and depicted in §3.12.
