Z-transform and Inverse Z-transform Analysis

Objective:
To study the Z-transform and Inverse Z-transform practically using MATLAB.

Tool Used:

MATLAB

Description:

In mathematics and signal processing, the Z-transform converts a discrete time-domain

signal, which is a sequence of real or complex numbers, into a complex frequency-domain


representation. The Z-transform, like many other integral transforms, can be defined as either

a one-sided or two-sided transform.

Bilateral Z-transform

The bilateral or two-sided Z-transform of a discrete-time signal x[n] is the function X(z) defined
as

Unilateral Z-transform
Alternatively, in cases where x[n] is defined only for n ≥ 0, the single-sided or unilateral
Z-transform is defined as

In signal processing, this definition is used when the signal is causal.

Explanation:
As analog filters are designed using the Laplace transform, recursive digital filters are

Developed with a parallel technique called the z-transform. The overall strategy of these

Two transforms is the same: probe the impulse response with sinusoids and exponentials to find

the system's poles and zeroes. The Laplace transforms deals with differential equations, the

s-domain, and the s-plane. Correspondingly, the z-transform deals with difference equations,

the z-domain, and the z-plane. However, the two techniques are not a mirror image of each other;

the s-plane is arranged in a rectangular coordinate system, while the z-plane uses a polar format.
Recursive digital filters are often designed by starting with one of the classic analog filters,

such as the Butterworth, Chebyshev, or Elliptic. A series of mathematical conversions are

then used to obtain the desired digital Filter. The Z transform of a discrete time

system X[n] is defined as Power Series.

Rational Z-transform to factored Z-transform:


Example:

Let the given transfer function be in the rational form,

2z4+16z3+44z2+56z+32

G(z)= --------------------------------

3z4+3z3-15z2+18z-12

It is required to convert it into factored form, so that we can find the poles and zeros
mathematically by applying quadratic equation.

Matlab command required for converting rational form to factored form be

‘Zp2sos’

The factored form of G(z) as evaluated by ‘zp2sos’ be,

G(z)=( 0.6667 + 0.4z-1 + 0.5333 z-2) (1.000 + 2.000 z-1 +2.000 z-2)
(1.000 + 2.000z-1 -4.000z-2 )(1.000 - 1.000 z-1 + 1.000 z-2)
Factored Z-transform / zeros,poles to rational Z-transform:

It is the inverse of the above case, when the transfer function is given in factored form and it is
required to convert in rational form then a single ‘matlab’ command can serve the purpose.

Example:
Lets use the above result i-e;transfer function in factored for,

G(z)=( 0.6667 + 0.4z-1 + 0.5333 z-2) (1.000 + 2.000 z-1 +2.000 z-2)
(1.000 + 2.000z-1 -4.000z-2 )(1.000 - 1.000 z-1 + 1.000 z-2)

For building up transfer function in rational form we find the poles and zers of above system
simply by using matlab ‘root’ command or by hand. Or simply we have poles and zeros of the
given system we can find the transfer function in factored form.
Matlab command that converts poles and zeros of the system in to transfer function is ‘zp2tf’ .

Rational Z-transform to partial fraction form:

This technique is usually used, while taking the inverse Z-transform and when the order ‘H(z)’ is
high so that it is quite difficult to solve it mathematically.
Example:
Consider the transfer function in the rational form i-e;
18z3
G(z)= ------------------
18z3+3z2-4z-1
We can evaluate the partial fraction form of the above system using Matlab command. The partial
fraction form be,
G(z)= 0.36__ + __0.24__ + _0.4____
1 – 0.5z-1 1+0.33 z-1 (1+0.33 z-1)

Matlab command that converts rational z-transform in to partial fraction form is


‘residuez’.

Partial fraction form to Z-transform:

This technique is used when it is required to convert partial fraction expression in to rational Z-
transform.

Example:
Take the partial fraction form of above,
The partial fraction form be,
G(z)= 0.36__ + __0.24__ + _0.4____
1 – 0.5z-1 1+0.33 z-1 (1+0.33 z-1)

Matlab command that converts partial fraction form into rational z-transform is
‘residuez’

Zplane:
Zero-pole plot
zplane(b,a)
This function displays the poles and zeros of discrete-time systems.

MATLAB:

Inverse Z-Transform:

MATLAB:

Pole Zero Diagrams For A Function In Z Domain:


Z plane command computes and display the pole-zero diagram of Z function.
The Command is
Zplane(b,a)
To display the pole value, use root(a)
To display the zero value, use root(b)

Examples:

Frequency Response:

The Freqz function computes and display the frequency response of given Z- Transform
of the function
freqz(b,a,Fs)
b= Coeff. Of Numerator
a= Coeff. Of Denominator
Fs= Sampling Frequency
Example:
Plot the magnitude and phase of the frequency response of the given digital filter
Using freqz function:
Y(n) = 0.2x(n) + 0.52y(n-1) – 0.68(y(n-2)

LAB TASK:

Express the following z-transform in factored form, plot its poles and zero and then determine its
ROCs.
2z4+16z3+44z2+56z+32
G(z)= --------------------------------
3z4+3z3-15z2+18z-12
Determine the partial fraction expansion of the z-transform G(z) given by

18z3
G(z)= ------------------
18z3+3z2-4z-1

Comment and conclusion:


In this lab we learnt about the z transform and inverse z transform. As in the Z-transform it
converts a discrete time-domain signal, which is a sequence of real or complex numbers, into a
complex frequency-domain representation and about its types. The z-transform is an important
signal-processing tool for analyzing the interaction between signals and systems. A significant
advantage of the z-transform over the discrete-time Fourier transform is that the z-transform exists
for many signals that do not have a discrete-time Fourier transform. We also observe bilateral and
unilateral transforms and z plane where we use zero and pole command. We perform the lab tasks
related to these concepts and paste their images over there. This helps us to understand the basic
concept of these theories.
