m16 - Properties of the Z-Transform

Module by: C. Sidney Burrus. E-mail the author

Summary: 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 ) x ( n ) is { x ( n ) } = X ( z ) { x ( n ) } = X ( z ) .

  1. Linear Operator: { x + y } = { x } + { y } { x + y } = { x } + { y }
  2. Relationship of ZT to DTFT: { x } | z = e j ω = { x } { x } | z = e j ω = { x }
  3. Periodic Spectrum: X ( e j ω ) = X ( e j ω + 2 π ) X ( e j ω ) = X ( e j ω + 2 π )
  4. Properties of Even and Odd Parts: x ( n ) = u ( n ) + j v ( n ) x ( n ) = u ( n ) + j v ( n ) and X ( e j ω ) = A ( e j ω ) + j B ( e j ω ) X ( e j ω ) = A ( e j ω ) + j B ( e j ω )

  5. Convolution: If discrete non-cyclic convolution is defined by y ( n ) = h ( n ) * x ( n ) = m = h ( n m ) x ( m ) = k = h ( k ) x ( n k ) y ( n ) = h ( n ) * x ( n ) = m = h ( n m ) x ( m ) = k = h ( k ) x ( n k ) then { h ( n ) * x ( n ) } = { h ( n ) } { x ( n ) } { h ( n ) * x ( n ) } = { h ( n ) } { x ( n ) }
  6. Shift: { x ( n + M ) } = z M X ( z ) { x ( n + M ) } = z M X ( z )
  7. Shift (unilateral): { x ( n + m ) } = z m X ( z ) z m x ( 0 ) z m 1 x ( 1 ) \dots z x ( m 1 ) { x ( n + m ) } = z m X ( z ) z m x ( 0 ) z m 1 x ( 1 ) \dots z x ( m 1 )
  8. Shift (unilateral): { x ( n m ) } = z m X ( z ) z m + 1 x ( 1 ) \dots x ( m ) { x ( n m ) } = z m X ( z ) z m + 1 x ( 1 ) \dots x ( m )
  9. Modulate: { x ( n ) a n } = X ( z / a ) { x ( n ) a n } = X ( z / a )
  10. Time mult.: { n m x ( n ) } = ( z ) m m X ( z ) z m { n m x ( n ) } = ( z ) m m X ( z ) z m
  11. Evaluation: The ZT can be evaluated on the unit circle in the z-plane by taking the DTFT of x ( n ) x ( n ) and if the signal is finite in length, this can be evaluated at sample points by the DFT.

Definition of a lens

Lenses

A lens is a custom view of the content in the repository. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see content through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

Who can create a lens?

Any individual member, a community, or a respected organization.

What are tags? tag icon

Tags are descriptors added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.
