In Mathematica, after defining H[z_] = (a0 + a1*z^-1 + a2*z^-2)/ (b0 + b1*z^-1 + b2*z^-2); a2 a1 a0 + -- + -- 2 z z ------------ b2 b1 b0 + -- + -- 2 z z you can use Taylor series (about Infinity) to get the expansion you want: H[z] + O[z,Infinity]^3 // Simplify 2 2 a0 a1 b0 - a0 b1 a2 b0 - a1 b0 b1 + a0 b1 - a0 b0 b2 -- + ------------- + ------------------------------------- + b0 2 3 2 b0 z b0 z 1 3 O[-] z Cheers, Paul
