Study Notes
Digital Signal Processing Course
- Course offered by Dr. Manal Shaban, Dr. Nabil Sabour, and Dr. Adel Fathy Khalifa
- Course is part of the Information Technology program at EELU (The Egyptian E-Learning University)
- Course year is 2024-2025, Fall Semester
Z-Transform
- Z-transform is a mathematical tool for system design, analysis, and monitoring, similar to Laplace Transforms
- It's the discrete-time component of the Laplace transform, generalizing the Fourier Transform of a sampled signal
- Crucial for understanding digital filters and systems
- Enables a deeper understanding of discrete-time LTI (Linear Time-Invariant) systems and their interaction with signals, surpassing the capabilities of the DTFT (Discrete-Time Fourier Transform)
DTFT works for stable LTI systems; Z-transform also works for unstable LTI systems
Derivation of Z-Transform
- Derived from Laplace transform
- Replace s (complex variable: σ + jω) with z = esT (where T is the sampling time) in the Laplace transform equation
- This yields a two-sided z-transform
- For a causal system, the transformation simplifies to a one-sided equation
Definition of Z-Transform
- Defined as the sum of the sequence multiplied by powers of
z<sup>-n</sup> - For causal systems, it's the sum from n = 0 to infinity, X(z) = Σx(n)z−n
- For a two-sided equation, sum from n = -∞ to ∞, X(z) = Σx(n)z−n
Geometric Representation of Z-Transform
- Z represents a complex number in the z-plane, often depicted as a circle of radius r
- z = rejω (r is the magnitude, ω is the angle)
- Z-plane poles are denoted with "x" on the plot, and zeroes with "o"
- The unit circle corresponds to the jω-axis in the complex s-plane
- Numerator polynomial root (zeros) and denominator polynomial root (poles) are represented in the visual of the Z-plane
Discrete-Time Fourier Transform (DTFT)
- The DTFT represents a signal in the frequency domain
- The DTFT is related to the z-transform via z=ejω on the unit circle.
ROC (Region of Convergence)
- The set of z values where the Z-Transform is finite
- The ROC is a ring or disc centered at the origin of the z-plane
- The ROC doesn't include any poles
- Finite-duration sequences have ROC covering the entire z-plane, except possibly at 0 or ∞
- Right-sided sequences have ROC extending outward from the outermost pole to infinity.
- Left-sided sequences have ROC extending inward from the innermost pole to zero.
Properties of Z-transform
- Linearity: ax[n] + by[n] ←→ aX(z) + bY(z).
- Time Shifting: x[n-n0] ←→ z-n0*X(z)
- z-Domain Differentiation: nx[n] ←→ zdX(z)/dz
- Z-Scale Property: an*x[n] ←→ X(z/a) .
- Time Reversal: x[-n] ←→ X(z−1)
- Convolution: h[n]*x[n] ←→ H(z)*X(z)
Rational Z-Transform
- For practical signals, Z-transform is expressed as the ratio of two polynomials
- X(z) = G*( (z-z1)(z-z2)…(z-zM) ) / ((z-p1)(z-p2)…(z-pN) )
- G is a scalar gain, zi are the zeros, and pi are the poles.
Z-Transform Function for Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) Systems
- H(z) = Σh(n)z-n is the system function
- Converts the time-domain difference equation (describing the system output) into a z-domain representation
- H(z) = Y(z)/X(z)
Relationship Between Frequency Response and Difference Equation for LTI System
- Establishes the relationship between system behaviour in frequency domain and time domain
- Frequency response is the system's characteristic in the frequency domain.
- H(z)|z=ejω = H(ejω) gives the frequency response by evaluation on the unit circle in the Z-plane
Other Relationships
- Relationships between x(n), y(n) and transfer functions H(z): taking DTFT, Inverse z-Transform and solving for specific variables to obtain the desired output.
