MCQ Practice Question

A causal discrete-time system has a pole at z=1.2. Its BIBO stability is?

  • AStable
  • BUnstable
  • CMarginally stable in every sense
  • DIndependent of pole location
Report an error
Correct Answer: B. Unstable
Explanation: For a causal rational DT system, a pole outside the unit circle prevents the unit circle from being in the ROC, so it is not BIBO stable.
