Introduction
z-transform of a sequence. We then obtain the z-transform of some important sequences and discuss useful properties of the transform.
Most of the results obtained are tabulated at the end of the Section.
The z-transform is the major mathematical tool for analysis in such areas as digital control and digital signal processing.
