Chapter 5 Z-Transforms

Introduction:
In Communication Engineering, two basic types of signals are encountered. They are (1) Continuous time signals. (2) Discrete time signals. Continuous time signals are defined for continuous values of the independent variable, namely time and are denoted by a function . Discrete time signals are defined only at discrete set of values of the independent variable and are denoted by a sequence . Z-transform plays an important role in analysis of linear discrete time signals. Definition of z-transform: If is a sequence defined for .,then and denoted by is called or

the two-sided or bilateral Z-transform of ,where z is a complex variable in general. If is a casual sequence, i.e if , called one-sided or unilateral Z-transform of

for n<0,then the Z-transform is and is defined as

We shall mostly deal with one sided Z-transform which will be hereafter referred to as Z-transform. Properties of Z-transforms: (1) Linearity: The Z-transform is linear . Proof:

Similarly, (ii) can be proved. (7) Final value Theorem: (i) (ii) Proof:

Taking limits as z tends to 1,

Similarly, (ii) can be proved, starting with property 2(ii). (8) Convolution Theorem: Definitions: The convolution of the two sequences (i) (ii) The convolution of two functions
