Definition
• In mathematics and signal processing , the Z-transform converts a
discrete-time signal, which is a sequence of real or complex numbers,
into complex frequency –domain (z-domain or z-domain)
representation
• Used to covert the difference equations in time domain into the
algebraic equations in z-domain
• The Z-transform may be of two types unilateral(one-sided) and
bilateral (two-sided)
• Useful tool in the analysis of a linear shift invariant (LSI) system
Region of Convergence (ROC) of Z-
transform
The set of points in the z-plane, for which the Z-transform of a
discrete-time sequence x(n), that is X(z) converges is called the
region of convergence (ROC) of the Z-transform X(z).
