Experiment 4

Aim: Study of Z-transform and Its Application

Software Required: MATLAB 2013a
THEORY:
The Z-transform converts a discrete-time signal, which is a sequence of real or complex numbers,
into a complex frequency domain representation.
where x[n] is defined only for n 0, the single-sided or unilateral Z-transform is defined as

In signal processing, this definition can be used to evaluate the Z-transform of the unit impulse
response of a discrete-time causal system.
An important example of the unilateral Z-transform is the probability-generating function, where
the component x[n] is the probability that a discrete random variable takes the value n, and the
function X(z) is usually written as X(s), in terms of s = z1.
The inverse Z-transform is

where C is a counterclockwise closed path encircling the origin and entirely in the region of
convergence (ROC).

ALGORITHM/PROCEDURE:
1. Start the program
2. Get the inputs for signal generation
3. Use the appropriate library function
4. Display the result
