Discrete-Time Systems
§4.1 LTI Discrete-Time Systems
in the Transform Domain
• This course is concerned with LTI
discrete-time systems characterized by
linear constant coefficient difference
equations of the form:
N M
d k y[n k ] pk x[n k ]
k 0 k 0
§4.1 LTI Discrete-Time Systems
in the Transform Domain
• Applying the z-transform to both sides of the
difference equation and making use of the
linearity and the time-invariance properties
we arrive at
N M
k k
d k z Y ( z ) pk z X ( z )
k 0 k 0
where Y(z) and X(z) denote the z-transforms of
y[n] and x[n] with associated ROCs, respectively

in the Transform Domain
• A more convenient form of the z-domain
representation of the difference equation
is given by
N k M
k
d k z Y ( z ) pk z X ( z )
k 0 k 0
§4.2 The Frequency Response
• The quantity H(ej) is called the
frequency response of the LTI discrete-
time system
• H(ej) provides a frequency-domain
description of the system
• H(ej) is precisely the DTFT of the
impulse response {h[n]} of the system
§4.2 The Frequency Response
• H(ej), in general, is a complex function of
with a period 2
• It can be expressed in terms of its real and
imaginary parts
H(ej)= Hre(ej) +j Him(ej)
or, in terms of its magnitude and phase,
H(ej)=|H(ej)| e()
where
()=argH(ej)
§4.2 The Frequency Response
• The function | H(ej) | is called the magnitude
response and the function () is called the
phase response of the LTI discrete-time
system
• Design specifications for the LTI discrete-time
system, in many applications, are given in
terms of the magnitude response or the phase
response or both
§4.2 The Frequency Response
• In some cases, the magnitude function is
specified in decibels as
G() = 20log10| H(ej) | dB
where G() is called the gain function
• The negative of the gain function
A() = - G()
is called the attenuation or loss function
§4.2 The Frequency Response
• Note: Magnitude and phase functions are real
functions of , whereas the frequency
response is a complex function of
• If the impulse response h[n] is real then the
magnitude function is an even function of :
|H(ej)| = |H(e - j)|
and the phase function is an odd function of
:
() = - (-)
§4.4 The Concept of Filtering
• One application of an LTI discrete-time
system is to pass certain frequency
components in an input sequence
without any distortion (if possible) and
to block other frequency components
• Such systems are called digital filters
and one of the main subjects of
discussion in this course
§4.4 The Concept of Filtering
• The key to the filtering process is
j j n
x[n] 1
X (e ) e d
2
• It expresses an arbitrary input as a
linear weighted sum of an infinite number
of exponential sequences, or equivalently,
as a linear weighted sum of sinusoidal
sequences
§4.4 The Concept of Filtering
• Thus, by appropriately choosing the
values of the magnitude function |H(ej)|
of the LTI digital filter at frequencies
corresponding to the frequencies of the
sinusoidal components of the input,
some of these components can be
selectively heavily attenuated or filtered
with respect to the others
§4.4 The Concept of Filtering
• To understand the mechanism behind
the design of frequency-selective filters,
consider a real-coefficient LTI discrete-
time system characterized by a
magnitude function
1, c
H ( e j )
0, c
§4.4 The Concept of Filtering
• We apply an input
x[n]=Acos1n+Bcos2n, 0< 1< c< 2<
to this system
• Because of linearity, the output of this
system is of the form
y[n] A H (e j1 ) cos 1n (1 )
