The z-transform is an important tool for analyzing digital systems and designing digital filters. It transforms a discrete-time signal into a complex frequency domain representation. The z-transform is defined as the summation of a discrete signal multiplied by powers of a complex variable z. Properties of the z-transform like linearity, shifting, and convolution can be exploited to solve difference equations in the z-domain and find the original discrete-time signal using the inverse z-transform.

THE Z-TRANSFORM
BAU Dr. Abdul Rahman El Falou
DEFINITION 2
The z-transform is a very important tool in describing
and analyzing digital systems It also supports the techniques for digital filter design and frequency analysis of digital signals. The z-transform of a causal sequence x(n), designated by X(z) is defined as:
where z is the complex variable
It is a one-sided z-transform or a unilateral transform Dr. Abdul Rahman El Falou DEFINITION 3
All the values of z that make the summation exist form a
region of convergence in the z-transform domain All other values of z outside the region of convergence will cause the summation to diverge The region of convergence is defined based on the particular sequence x(n) being applied

SOLUTION OF DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS USING THE Z-TRANSFORM 36
To solve a difference equation with initial conditions, we have to
deal with time-shifted sequences such as y(n-1), y(n-2), ... , y(n-m)
It holds that
Similarly, we have

In general:
If all initial conditions are considered to be zero, that is,
The procedure is as follow to solve the equations is as
follows: Apply the z-transform to the difference equation. Substitute the initial conditions. Solve for the difference equation in the z-transform domain. Find the solution in the time domain by applying the inverse z- transform. Dr. Abdul Rahman El Falou EXAMPLE 5.13 38
