This module covers the Z-Transform, a key mathematical tool for analyzing discrete-time signals and systems. It details how the Z-Transform simplifies the analysis of difference equations and system behavior in the Z-domain, explaining concepts like the Region of Convergence (ROC), inverse Z-Transform, and various properties of the Z-Transform. The relationship between the Z-Transform, the system function, and the Discrete-Time Fourier Transform (DTFT) is also explored, highlighting their significance in signal processing and system analysis.

Term: ZTransform
Definition: A mathematical transformation that converts a discrete-time sequence into a complex-valued function of a complex variable.
Term: Region of Convergence (ROC)
Definition: The set of values in the complex plane for which the Z-Transform converges. It is integral in determining the properties of the corresponding time-domain signal.
Term: Inverse ZTransform
Definition: The process of converting the Z-Transform back into its original discrete-time sequence, often using methods like Partial Fraction Expansion.
Term: System Function
Definition: The Z-Transform of the impulse response of a system, representing how the system modifies an input signal in the Z-domain.
Term: DiscreteTime Fourier Transform (DTFT)
Definition: A frequency analysis tool for discrete-time signals derived from the Z-Transform by evaluating it on the unit circle.
