Z Transform and its properties

Objective:
To learn how we can solve Z-Transform by using MATLAB commands.

Theory:
Z transform is an important tool for the analysis and design of discrete time signals. It transform a
signal of time domain into a function of variable z. For discrete time signal x(n), z transform is
define as,

𝑋[𝑍] = ∑ 𝑥[𝑛]𝑍 −𝑛
𝑛=−∞

The properties of the z-transform are generalizations of the properties of the discrete-time Fourier
transform.

Lab Tasks:

Find z transform of
𝑥(𝑛) = (0.8𝑛) 𝑢(−𝑛 − 1).
𝑥(𝑛) = (4𝑛) 𝑢(1 − 𝑛).
𝑥(𝑛) = (𝑛 + 1)(3𝑛) 𝑢(𝑛).
𝑥(𝑛) = 𝑛𝑆𝑖𝑛(𝜋𝑛/3) 𝑢(𝑛) + (0.9𝑛) 𝑢(𝑛 − 1).

Conclusions:

In mathematics and signal processing, the Z-transform converts a discrete-time signal,

which is a sequence of real or complex numbers, into a complex frequency domain
representation. It can be considered as a discrete-time equivalent of the Laplace transform.
