z transform
The properties of the z transform are similar to those of the DTFT.
Properties
The properties of the ZT are similar to those for the DTFT and DFT and are
important in the analysis and interpretation of long signals and in the
analysis and description of discrete-time systems. The main properties are
given here using the notation that the ZT of a complex sequence
x
(
n
)
is
{
x
(
n
)
}
=
X
(
z
)
.

Evaluation: The ZT can be evaluated on the unit circle in the z-plane by
taking the DTFT of
x
(
n
)
and if the signal is finite in length, this can be evaluated at sample points
by the DFT.
