How do you define a z-transform?

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.

Why z-transform is used in practice?

z transforms are particularly useful to analyze the signal discretized in time. Hence, we are given a sequence of numbers in the time domain. z transform takes these sequences to the frequency domain (or the z domain), where we can check for their stability, frequency response, etc.

What is z-transform and basic formula for z-transform?

The relationship between a discrete-time signal x[n] and its one-sided z-transform X(z) is expressed as follows: X(z)=∞∑n=0x[n]z−n. This summation begins as a sequence of individual values, and since we are summing from n = 0 to n = infinity, the sequence is of infinite length.
