MCQ Practice Question

A stable causal rational network function requires all natural-response poles to lie where in the s-plane?

  • AOpen right-half plane
  • BOpen left-half plane
  • COnly at the origin
  • DAnywhere on the real axis
Report an error
Correct Answer: B. Open left-half plane
Explanation: For asymptotic stability of a causal continuous-time rational network, natural modes must decay, requiring poles in the open left-half plane.
