Z-Transform Applications in Discrete Systems

This document discusses z-transforms and their applications. Z-transforms are useful for manipulating discrete data sequences and analyzing discrete-time systems, analogous to how Laplace transforms are used for continuous models and differential equations. The z-transform is defined as an infinite series involving the reciprocals of powers of z applied to a discrete-time sequence. Z-transforms see extensive use today in areas like applied math, digital signal processing, control theory, and economics for solving difference equations modeling discrete systems.

Chapter 9 z-transforms and applications

Overview

The z-transform is useful for the manipulation of discrete data sequences and has
acquired a new significance in the formulation and analysis of discrete-time
systems. It is used extensively today in the areas of applied mathematics, digital
signal processing, control theory, population science, economics. These discrete
models are solved with difference equations in a manner that is analogous to solving
continuous models with differential equations. The role played by the z-transform in
the solution of difference equations corresponds to that played by the Laplace
transforms in the solution of differential equations.

9.1 The z-transform

The function notation for sequences is used in the study and application of z-
transforms. Consider a function defined for that is sampled at
times , where is the sampling period (or rate). We can write
the sample as a sequence using the notation . Without loss of generality
we will set and consider real sequences such as, . The definition
of the z-transform involves an infinite series of the reciprocals .

Definition 9.1 (z-transform) Given the sequence the z-transform is


defined as follows

(9-1) ,

which is a series involving powers of .
