The Z-transform
 The Z-transform of a discrete-time signal x(n), denoted by X(z),

is defined as:

X ( z)   x (
n  
n ) z n
 The Z-transform is a mapping (transformation) from a sequence

to a power series.
 We say that x(n) and X(z) are Z-transform pairs and denote this
relationship as:
x(n) 
Z
X ( z ) (with certain ROC )
The Z-Plane
 The variable z is complex and can be viewed in the z-plane.
 The Z-transform of a discrete-time signal x(n) is a function X(z)

defined on the z-plane.
Region of Convergence (ROC)
 The region of convergence (ROC) is defined as the set of all

values of z for which X(z) has a finite values.
 Every time we cite a Z-transform, we should indicate its ROC.
Example:

c. x(n)  3n u (n  1)
Properties of the ROC
Properties of the ROC……
 In general, the ROC has the following properties.
i. The ROC can not contain any poles inside it.
ii. If x(n) is left-sided signal, then:
ROC : z  r1 , r1 : is the innermost pole
iii.If x(n) is right-sided signal, then:
ROC : z  r2 , r2 : is the outermost pole
iv. If x(n) is two-sided signal, then:
ROC : r2  z  r1
v. If x(n) is a finite length signal, then ROC is the entire z-plane
except possibly at z  0 or z  .
vi. The DTFT of x(n) exists if and only if the ROC of x(n)
includes the unit circle.

Rational Z-transforms
 The most important and most commonly used Z-transforms are

those for which X(z) is a rational function of the form:
M
N ( z) k
b z k
b0  b1 z 1  .....  bM z  M
X ( z)   k 0

D( z ) N
a0  a1 z 1  .....  aM z  N
 k
a
k 0
z k
 The roots of the numerator N(z) are known as the zeros of X(z).
 The roots of the denominator D(z) are known as the poles of

X(z).
Rational Z-transforms……
 The above rational Z-transform contains:
 M zeros at z1, z2, ……, zM
 N poles at p1, p2, ……, pM
 If M<N, then there are N-M additional zeros at the origin z=0.
 If M>N, then there are M-N additional poles at the origin z=0.
 If M=N, then X(z) has exactly the same number of poles and
zeros.
Exercise:

following discrete-time signals.
a. x(n)  0.5n u (n)

sum of simple terms.

Transfer Function of Discrete-time LTI Systems
 The Z-transform of the impulse response h(n) is known as the
transfer function of the system.
 Mathematically:

H ( z)   h (
n  
n ) z n
 We say that h(n) and H(z) are Z-transform pairs and denote this
relationship as:
h(n) 
Z
H ( z)
Transfer Function of Discrete-time LTI Systems……
 The output y(n) of a discrete-time LTI system equals the

convolution of the input x(n) with the impulse response h(n),
i.e.,
y ( n)  x ( n) * h( n)
 Taking the Z-transform of both sides of the above equation by

applying the convolution property, we obtain:
Y ( z)
Y ( z)  X ( z)H ( z)  H ( z) 
X ( z)
i. Causal LTI Systems
 A discrete-time LTI system is causal if h(n)=0, n<0. In other
words, h(n) is right-sided signal.
 Therefore, ROC of H(z) is an exterior region starting from the
outermost pole.
ii. Anti-causal LTI Systems
 A discrete-time LTI system is anti-causal if h(n)=0, n>0. In
other words, h(n) is left-sided signal.
 Therefore, ROC of H(z) is an interior region starting from the
innermost pole.
iii. BIBO Stable LTI Systems

 A discrete-time LTI system is BIBO stable if h(n) is
absolutely summable, i.e. ,

 h( n)  
n  
 Therefore, ROC of H(z) always contains the unit circle.
iv. Causal & BIBO stable LTI Systems
 The ROC of H(z) must be an exterior region starting from the
outermost pole and contains the unit circle.
 In other words, all poles must be inside the unit circle.
Exercise:
1. The transfer function of a discrete-time LTI system is given by:
3  3 z 1
H ( z) 
1  2.5 z 1  z  2
a. Find the poles and zeros of H(z).
b. Sketch the pole-zero plot.

i. causal iii. BIBO stable
ii. anti-causal
2. Plot the ROC of H(z) for discrete-time LTI systems that are:
a. causal & BIBO stable
b. causal & unstable
c. anti-causal & BIBO stable
d. anti-causal & unstable
Transform Domain Analysis using the Z-transform
 The procedure for evaluating the output y(n) of a discrete-time
LTI system using the Z-transform consists of the following four
steps.
1. Calculate the Z-transform X(z) of the input signal x(n).
2. Calculate the Z-transform H(z) of the impulse response h(n) of
the discrete-time LTI system.
Transform Domain Analysis using the Z-transform….
3. Based on the convolution property, the Z-transform of the
output y(n) is given by Y(z) = H(z)X(z).
4. The output y(n) in the time domain is obtained by calculating
the inverse Z-transform of Y(z) obtained in step (3).
