4. Time and Frequency Domains: Z-Transform

The Z-Transform serves as a fundamental principle in discrete-time signal processing, extending the Fourier Transform and facilitating the analysis of discrete signals for stability and system design. It encompasses properties such as linearity, time shifting, and convolution, all crucial for system analysis and design. Furthermore, understanding the Region of Convergence (ROC) is essential for determining the stability of discrete systems, and multiple applications illustrate its importance in various fields such as control systems and digital signal processing.
