z transforms
z transforms are used to solve problems in discrete systems in a manner
similar to the use of Laplace transforms for piecewise continuous systems.
Definition
The z transform of a sequence f0,f1,f2,...,fn,... is given by

As this is an infinite summation it will not always converge. The set of


values of z for which it exists is called the region of convergence (ROC).
The sequence, f0,f1,f2,...,fn,... is a function of an integer, however, its z
transform is a function of a complex variable z. The operation of taking the
z transform of the sequence fn is represented by Z {fn} = F(z).

Z Transform Table
Rather than always using the
definition to find the z transform,
we will usually make use of a table
of well-known transforms and
properties of the z transform to
discover the transform of various
sequences. A list of z transforms is
given in table

Solving linear difference equations


with constant coefficients using z transforms

The scheme for solving difference equations is very similar to


that for solving differential equations using Laplace
transforms and is outlined below. The z transform transforms
the linear difference equation with constant coefficients to an
algebraic equation in z.
