Right Half Plane (RHP) Zeros are present in a broad range of systems.

  • SISO RHP zeros:
    • \(G(z) = 0\). The real part of \(z\) is positive
  • MIMO RHP zeros:
    • RHP zeros of the determinant of the transfer function matrix
    • For MIMO plants, the zero is associated with an output direction
  • Consequences:
    • Non minimum phase
    • Usually, if looking at the step response, at first the response goes in the wrong direction
    • The frequency of the RHP zero should be outside the controller bandwidth. It therefore impose a fundamental limitation to the controller bandwidth. The reason is that inside the control bandwidth, the controller basically inverts the plant, and the inverse of a RHP zero is an unstable pole.
