3) Time Reversal
4) Multiplication by an Exponential sequence
5) Convolution Theorem
6) Conjugation
7) Derivative Property (Differentiation)
8) Initial Value Theorem
1.Linearit
y Let x1(n) and x2(n) be the two discrete
sequences and their z-transform be X1(z) and X2(z)
respectively, then
z
a x1(n) + b x2(n) < --------> a X1(z) + b X2(z)

2.Time Shifting
Let x(n) be the discrete sequence and its z-
transform be X(z), then

z
x(n-k) < --------> z-k X(z)
3.Time Reversal
Let x(n) be the discrete sequence and its z-
transform be X(z), then
z
x(-n) < ---------> X(z-1) = X(1/z)

4. Multiplication by an Exponential sequence

Let x(n) be the discrete sequence and its z-
transform be X(z), then

z
an x(n) < ---------> X(a-1z) = X(z/a)
5.Convolution Theorem
Let x(n) and h(n) be the two discrete
sequences and their z-transform be X(z) and H(z)
respectively, then
z
x(n) * h(n) < --------> X(z) H(z)

6.Conjugation
Let x(n) be the discrete sequence and its z-
transform be X(z), then the z-transform of its
complex conjugate is
z
x* (n) < --------> X*(z*) and also
z
x* (-n) < --------> X*(1/z*)
7.Derivative
Property
Let x(n) be the discrete sequence and its z-
transform be X(z), then

dX ( z )
nx(n)   z
Z

dz
8. Initial Value Theorem
Let x(n) be the discrete sequence and its z-
transform be X(z) and, if x(n)= 0, for n<0, then

x(0)  lim X ( z )
z 
