What is Z-transform and why we use it?

The Z-transform (ZT) is a mathematical tool which is used to convert the difference equations in time domain into the algebraic equations in z-domain. The Z-transform is a very useful tool in the analysis of a linear shift invariant (LSI) system. An LSI discrete time system is represented by difference equations.

What is meant by z transformation?

Z transformation is the process of standardization that allows for comparison of scores from disparate distributions. Using a distribution mean and standard deviation, z transformations convert separate distributions into a standardized distribution, allowing for the comparison of dissimilar metrics.

What is z in the Z-transform?

So, in this case, z is a complex value that can be understood as a complex frequency. It is important to verify each values of r the sum above converges. These values are called the Region of Convergence (ROC) of the Z transform.

What is Z-transform and its ROC?

The region of convergence, known as the ROC, is important to understand because it defines the region where the z-transform exists. The z-transform of a sequence is defined as. X(z)=∞∑n=−∞x[n]z−n. The ROC for a given x[n], is defined as the range of z for which the z-transform converges.
