The '''matched Z-transform method''', also called the '''pole–zero mapping'''<ref>

The method works by mapping all poles and zeros of the [[Laplace transform|s-plane]] design to [[Z-transform|z-plane]] locations ''z'' = exp(''sT''), for a sample interval ''T''.<ref>

Alternative methods include the [[bilinear transform]] and [[impulse invariance]] methods.
