What is the inverse Z-transform of 1 z?

The Z-transform of a sequence an is defined as A(z)=∑∞n=−∞anz−n. In your case, A(z)=1/z=z−1, so this must mean an=0 for all n≠1, and a1=1. We don't need any fancy computations in this example, we just read off the one nonzero coefficient directly from A.

How do you find the Z-transform of a function?

To find the Z Transform of this shifted function, start with the definition of the transform: Since the first three elements (k=0, 1, 2) of the transform are zero, we can start the summation at k=3. In general, a time delay of n samples, results in multiplication by z-n in the z domain.

What is Z-transform and inverse Z-transform?

Z-Transform is basically a discrete time counterpart of Laplace Transform. Z-transform of a general discrete time signal is expressed in the equation-1 above. The range of values of 'Z' for which above equation is defined gives ROC (Reason of Convergence) of Z-transform.
