For a strictly proper transfer function with no poles/zeros at infinity, I understand that it gives \$G(\infty) = 0\$. What does it do for a proper transfer function?

For a transfer function with more finite poles than finite zeros, the gain goes to zero as the frequency increases without bound.

For a transfer function with an equal number of finite poles and finite zeros, the gain will be non-zero as the frequency increases without bound. This is given by the "D" term in the state space representation of the transfer function.
