What are the properties of Z transform

The Z\mathcal{Z}Z-transform is a powerful tool in digital signal processing and discrete-time systems analysis, analogous to the Laplace transform in continuous-time systems. It transforms a discrete-time signal or sequence from the time domain into the complex frequency domain. Here are the key properties of the Z\mathcal{Z}Z-transform:

1. Linearity:

• The Z\mathcal{Z}Z-transform is linear, meaning it satisfies the superposition principle.
• If x1[n]x_1[n]x1?[n] and x2[n]x_2[n]x2?[n] have Z\mathcal{Z}Z-transforms X1(z)X_1(z)X1?(z) and X2(z)X_2(z)X2?(z) respectively, then for constants aaa and bbb: Z{ax1[n]+bx2[n]}=aX1(z)+bX2(z)\mathcal{Z} \{ a x_1[n] + b x_2[n] \} = a X_1(z) + b X_2(z)Z{ax1?[n]+bx2?[n]}=aX1?(z)+bX2?(z)

2. Time Shifting (Time Delay):

• A time-shifted version of a sequence in the time domain results in multiplication by a corresponding power of zzz in the Z\mathcal{Z}Z-domain.
• For a sequence x[n]x[n]x[n], its Z\mathcal{Z}Z-transform X(z)X(z)X(z) is related to the Z\mathcal{Z}Z-transform of x[n−k]x[n-k]x[n−k] by: Z{x[n−k]}=z−kX(z)\mathcal{Z} \{ x[n-k] \} = z^{-k} X(z)Z{x[n−k]}=z−kX(z)

3. Time Reversal:

• The Z\mathcal{Z}Z-transform of a time-reversed sequence x[−n]x[-n]x[−n] is related to X(z)X(z)X(z) by substituting zzz with 1z\frac{1}{z}z1?: Z{x[−n]}=X(1z)\mathcal{Z} \{ x[-n] \} = X \left( \frac{1}{z} \right)Z{x[−n]}=X(z1?)

4. Convolution:

• The Z\mathcal{Z}Z-transform of the convolution of two sequences x[n]x[n]x[n] and h[n]h[n]h[n] is the product of their respective Z\mathcal{Z}Z-transforms X(z)X(z)X(z) and H(z)H(z)H(z): Z{x[n]∗h[n]}=X(z)⋅H(z)\mathcal{Z} \{ x[n] \ast h[n] \} = X(z) \cdot H(z)Z{x[n]∗h[n]}=X(z)⋅H(z)

5. Initial Value Theorem:

• Provides the value of x[n]x[n]x[n] as n→∞n \to \inftyn→∞ from its Z\mathcal{Z}Z-transform X(z)X(z)X(z): lim?n→∞x[n]=lim?z→∞X(z)\lim_{n \to \infty} x[n] = \lim_{z \to \infty} X(z)limn→∞?x[n]=limz→∞?X(z)

6. Final Value Theorem:

• Provides the value of x[n]x[n]x[n] as n→−∞n \to -\inftyn→−∞ from its Z\mathcal{Z}Z-transform X(z)X(z)X(z): lim?n→−∞x[n]=lim?z→1(1−z−1)X(z)\lim_{n \to -\infty} x[n] = \lim_{z \to 1} (1 - z^{-1}) X(z)limn→−∞?x[n]=limz→1?(1−z−1)X(z)

7. Differentiation in Time Domain:

• The Z\mathcal{Z}Z-transform of the differentiated sequence nx[n]n x[n]nx[n] is related to X(z)X(z)X(z) by: Z{nx[n]}=−zdX(z)dz\mathcal{Z} \{ n x[n] \} = -z \frac{dX(z)}{dz}Z{nx[n]}=−zdzdX(z)?

8. Multiplication by Exponential Sequence:

• The Z\mathcal{Z}Z-transform of anx[n]a^n x[n]anx[n], where aaa is a constant, is given by: Z{anx[n]}=X(za)\mathcal{Z} \{ a^n x[n] \} = X \left( \frac{z}{a} \right)Z{anx[n]}=X(az?)

These properties make the Z\mathcal{Z}Z-transform a versatile tool for analyzing discrete-time signals and systems, facilitating operations such as time shifting, convolution, differentiation, and analysis of stability and frequency response in digital signal processing applications.
