As with other signal transforms, the z-transform has a number of significant properties, including ways in which changes to a signal in one domain impacts its representation in another domain. To examine these properties, we will again use the notation of a z-transform "pair." If we have $X(z)=\sum\limits_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}x[n]z^{-n}$, then we express the relationship between $x[n]$ and its z-transform $X(z)$ as $x[n]\leftrightarrow X(z)$

The z-transform and the dtft

The DTFT is a special case of the z-transform. If we have $x[n]\leftrightarrow X(z)$ and the ROC of $X(z)$ contains the unit circle, then the DTFT of $x[n]$, $X(e^{j\omega})$, is simply the z-transform $X(z)$ evaluated on the unit circle $z=e^{j\omega}$: $X(e^{j\omega})=X(z)|_{z=e^{j\omega}}$

The z-transform is linear

Given that the z-transform is simply an infinite sum, if follows then that it will be a linear operator. If we have $x_1[n]\leftrightarrow X_1(z)$ and $x_2[n]\leftrightarrow X_2(z)$, and $\alpha_1,\alpha_2\in C$, then: $\alpha_1 x_1[n]+\alpha_2 x_2[n]\leftrightarrow \alpha_1 X_1(z)+\alpha_2 X_2(z)$However, the ROC of the new transform is the intersection of those of $X_1(x)$ and $X_2(z)$: $ROC_{\alpha_1 X_1+\alpha_2 X_2}=ROC_{X_1}\bigcap ROC_{X_2}$

The z-transform and shifts in time

If $x[n]$ and $X(z)$ are a z-transform pair, then:$x[n-m]\leftrightarrow z^{-m}X(z)$and the ROC remains the same as for $X(z)$ (with the possible addition/removal of a pole at zero and/or zero at infinity): $\begin{align*}\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} x[n-m]\, z^{-n}&= \sum_{r=-\infty}^{\infty} x[r]\, z^{-(r+m)}\\&=\sum_{r=-\infty}^{\infty} x[r]\, z^{-r} \, z^{-m} \\&=z^{-m} \sum_{r=-\infty}^{\infty} x[r]\, z^{-r}\\&=z^{-m} X(z) \end{align*}$

The z-transform and modulation

If $x[n]$ and $X(z)$ are a z-transform pair, then:$z^n_0 x[n]\leftrightarrow X(\frac{z}{z_0})$To determine the ROC of the new z-transform, substitute $\frac{z}{z_0}$ for $z$ in the original ROC definition, and simplify. For example, if the ROC of $X(z)$ is $|z|\gt 1$, then the new ROC will be $|\frac{z}{z_0}|\gt 1 \rightarrow |z|\gt |z_0|$ Proof:$\begin{align*} \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} (z_0^n x[n]) z^{-n}&=\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} x[n](z/z_0)^{-n}\\&=X\left(\frac{z}{z_0}\right)\end{align*}$

The z-transform and complex conjugation

If $x[n]$ and $X(z)$ are a z-transform pair, then:$x^*[n] \leftrightarrow} X^*(z^*)$Proof: $\begin{align*}\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} x^*[n] z^{-n}&=\left(\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} x[n] (z^*)^{-n}\right)^*\\&=X^*(z^*) \end{align*}$

The z-transform and time reversal

If $x[n]$ and $X(z)$ are a z-transform pair, then:$x[-n]\leftrightarrow}X(z^{-1})$With the ROC inverted: to find the ROC, substitute $\frac{1}{z}$ for $z$ in the original ROC expression and simplify. Proof:$\begin{align*} \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} x[-n]z^{-n}&=\sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty} x[m]z^{m}\\&=\sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty} x[m] (z^{-1})^{-m}\\&=X(z^{-1}) \end{align*}$

The z-transform and convolution

If $x[n]\leftrightarrow X(z)$, $h[n]\leftrightarrow H(z)$, and $y[n]\leftrightarrow Y(z)$ all all z-transform pairs, and $y[n]=x[n]\ast h[n]$, then: $Y(z)=X(z)H(z)$,with the ROC of $Y(z)$ being the intersection of the ROCs of $X(z)$ and $H(z)$.

Common z-transform pairs

$\begin{array}{c|c|c} x[n]&X(z)&ROC \\ \hline \\\delta[n]&1&all z\\ u[n]&\frac{1}{1-z^{-1}}&|z|\gt 1 \\ \alpha^n u[n]&\frac{1}{1-\alpha z^{-1}}&|z|\gt|\alpha| \\ -\alpha^n u[-n-1]&\frac{1}{1-\alpha z^{-1}}&|z|\lt|\alpha| \end{array}$

what's the difference between anatomy and physiology
Oyerinde Reply
Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body, while physiology is the study of the function of the body. Anatomy looks at the body's organs and systems, while physiology looks at how those organs and systems work together to keep the body functioning.
