In this paper, we study the invertibility of a sampled data system. Necessa
ry and sufficient invertibility conditions are given explicitly in terms of
transfer function zeros. It is shown that many systems including those wit
h "unstable" zeros or those with more inputs than outputs are in fact stabl
y invertible. Detailed design procedures to achieve the system inverse are
given. A minimum sensitivity Inverse with respect to under-modeling and noi
se is also provided in the paper.
