The material to be covered in this lecture is


as follows:

value theorems
Find the inverse z-transform.

Derivation of the z-Transform

The ztransform is defined as follows:

The coefficient denote the sample value and denotes that


the sample occurs n sample periods after the t=0 reference.
Rather than starting form the given definition for the ztransform, we may build a table for the popular signals and
another table for the z-transform properties.
Like the Fourier and Laplace transform, we have two options
either to start from the definition or we may utilize the
tables to find the proper transform.
The next slide illustrates a few z-transform pairs.
Then we will investigate some of the z-transform properties:

Linearity
Time-shifting property
Initial and final value theorems

This follows directly from the definition of the z-transform because


the summation operator is linear.
It is easily extended to a linear combination of an arbitrary number
of signals.
This property includes the multiplication by constant property
which states that if the signal is scaled by a constant its z-transform
will be scaled by the same constant.

equation which uses the property:

The coefficient for is zero which is the initial value.


The coefficient converges to one as the negative power
of z increases which corresponds to the final value.

Find the inverse ztransform for


by long division .

The inverse operation for the z-transform my be accomplished by:

Long division
Partial fraction expansion

The z-transform of a sample sequence can be written as

X (z ) x (0) x (T )z 1 x (2T )z 2 ....

If we can write X(z) into this form, the sample values can be determined by
inspection.
When X(z) is represented in a ratio of polynomials in z, this can be easily
achieved by long division.
Before carrying out the division, it is convenient to arrange both the
numerator and the denominator in ascending powers of z-1.
Dr. Ali Muqaibel

Inverse z-transform using Partial Fraction


Expansion

Alternatively, we may avoid the long division by partial


fraction expansion. The idea is similar to the method used
for inverse Laplace transform.
The objective is to manipulate X(z) into a form that can
be inverse z-transformed by using z-transform tables.
Because of the forms of transforms,

it is usually best to perform partial fraction expansion of H(z)/z.


As an alternative z-1 can be treated as the variable in the partial
fraction expansion.

Important: before doing partial-fraction expansion, make


sure the z-transform is in proper rational function of !

expansion and long division

Difference Equation

For continuous-time systems, differential equation may be


solved using Laplace transform
Similarly discrete-time systems result in Difference
Equations which may be solved using z-transform
Recall that discrete-time systems process a discrete-time
input signal to produce a discrete-time output signal.
The general symbolic notation for Discrete-Time System:

Dr. Ali Muqaibel

Transfer Function in the z-Domain

There is a simple relationship for a signal time-shift


1 z

This is fundamental for deriving the transfer function of a


difference equation which is expressed in terms of the inputoutput signal delays
The transfer function of a discrete time LTI system is the ztransform of the systems impulse response
The transfer function is a rational polynomial in the complex
number z.
Convolution is expressed as multiplication

X z

and this can be solved for particular signals and systems
