The Z Transform, System Transfer
Function, Poles and Stability
• For differential equations and analogue system analysis, the Laplace
Transform is an invaluable tool. It allows us to examine stability
through the simple exercise of pole-zero plots and also allows us to
understand frequency response of systems through factorisation.
• A similar tool exists for digital signals, it is called the Z Transform.
It helps us avoid alot of tedious difference equation manipulation.
• You probably have had enough of transforms in this course, so
rather than heap upon you a large amount of proofs, we will just
be stating what the Z-Transform is and then we’ll use it to do
stuff.
• Where possible, we will be using similar analysis for Z- Transforms
as we did for Laplace transforms and so the proofs and so on will
be much more brief.

The Z-Xform
• The unilateral Z-Transform of a digital sequence xn is given by
Z(xn) = X(z) =
∞
∑
xnz −n
n=0
• z is just a complex number in what is called the z−plane. Just
like s is a complex number in the s− plane.
• The Z-Transform maps a discrete sequence xn from the sample
domain [n] into the complex plane z.
• It is a power series in z
Z(xn) = X(z) =

• Calculating the Z-transform of a finite length signal is straightforward.
• An example. Say xn = 1, 2, −1, 0.5, 0.25, 0, 0 and 0 otherwise,
furthermore xn is causal. The Z Transform of xn is then as follows.
Z(xn) = X(z) =
∞
∑
xnz −n
n=0
= x0z 0 + x1z −1 + x2z −2 + x3z −3 . . .
= 1 + 2z −1 − 1z −2 + 0.5z −3 + 0.25z −4
And that’s it. The Z-transform just takes an input sequence and
multiplies it by increasing negative powers of z to create a power
series in z.

• What about the inverse? Well, the fancy way of doing the inverse
is to do contour integration of X(z) in the z-plane to get back xn.
But we’re going to use two simpler methods. One is just plain
cheating and the other is to use tables2.

The Inverse Z-Transform: The plain cheat
Z(xn) = X(z) =
∞
∑
xnz −n
n=0
Suppose we are given X(z) = −1 + z −1 + 0.1z −2 + 0.8z −3 + 1.2z −4.
What is xn?
Well, the Z-Transform of xn is a power series in z right?
X(z) =
∞
∑
xnz −n
n=0
= x0z 0 + x1z −1 + x2z −2 + x3z −3 . . .
Compare this with what we are given
X(z) = −1 + z −1 + 0.1z −2 + 0.8z −3 + 1.2z −4
You can see that the coefficients of the power series are the values of
xn themselves! So we can extract the inverse from the power series to
yield
xn = −1, 1, 0.1, 0.8, 1.2
Magic!

3 SOME Z-XFORM RELATIONS
• Time shift (very important in digital systems theory). If xn ↔
X(z) what is the Z-Xform of xn−1?
Let yn = xn−1

Z(yn) =

m=−1
∞
∑
−1
=z
xmz −m + z −1x−1z
m=0
= z −1X(z) + x−1
But we are dealing with CAUSAL signals so ...
Z(yn) = z −1X(z)
So z −1 represents a shift in time of ONE SAMPLE. Hence Z{xn} =
z −1X(z); Z{xn−2} = z −2X(z); Z{xn−3} = z −3X(z); and so
on.
• Note that we are assuming that the signal is causal. See tables
for exact Z-Xforms of non-causal signals.

System Xfer Functions
• Now we are in a position to make it easier to manipulate difference equations using the Z-Xform, in the same way that we can use the Laplace
Xform to help us solve differential equations.
• Lets look at our simple IIR difference equation example again
yn − 0.9yn−1 = xn
(2)
Let’s try to find an expression for the output Y(z) in terms of X(z). Take
Z-Xforms of both sides remembering
yn ↔ Y(z)
yn−1 ↔ z −1 Y(z)
xn ↔ X(z)
So taking Z-Xforms we have
Y(z) − 0.9Y(z)z −1 = X(z)
⇒ Y(z)[1 − 0.9z −1 ] = X(z)
1
1 − 0.9z −1
Y(z)
1
⇒
=
X(z) 1 − 0.9z −1
⇒ Y(z) = X(z)
Y(z)
The function X(z)
is the SYSTEM TRANSFER FUNCTION for the difference equation. And given xn we can use the above to work out the
output given ANY input using the Z-Xform.
• ALL THE SAME METHODOLOGY AS FOR ANALOGUE SYSTEM
TRANSFER FUNCTIONS ALSO APPLIES INCLUDING THE BLOCK
DIAGRAM ALGEBRA.
• Thus if two systems G1 (z) and G2 (z) are in cascade the NET transfer
function is G1 (z)G2 (z).

Given xn = δn input into the system G(z) = 1/(1 − 0.9z −1), what
is the output hn? (This is another way of asking you to calculate the
impulse response of the system G(z)). Let hn be the output sequence
(the impulse response). BTW: G(z) is IIR.
H(z) = G(z)X(z)
X(z) = Z(δn) = 1
⇒ H(z) = G(z)
⇒ hn = Z −1(G(z))

of an analogue system is the inverse Laplace Xform of its system

Stability
• Just like for analogue systems, a digital system is stable if its
impulse response is absolutely summable i.e.
∞
∑
|hn| = B < ∞
n=0
• A DIGITAL SYSTEM IS STABLE IF ALL ITS POLES LIE
WITHIN THE UNIT CIRCLE IN THE Z-PLANE. We will not
prove this in depth. Instead we will use the following example.
• Lets look at the system G(z) as below
1
1 − az −1
This system has a pole at z = a, and a zero at z = 0
G(z) =
• We know the impulse response of the system above is hn = an.

• For this sequence to be stable it must have a finite sum. As
∑∞
n
n=0 |a| repesents the sum of a geometric progession, the sum
is finite if and only if |a| < 1
• That means that the POLE must be within the unit circle!
• In general, to test stability for digital systems, just check that
all the poles are within the unit circle. If any are not, then the

system is unstable. We have not proved this exactly, but you
can get the picture. The proof is almost identical to what we did
using the Analogue System Transfer Functions.
• The location of zeros does not affect stability.
• THEREFORE FIR FILTERS ARE ALWAYS STABLE! They do not have poles!
• IIR Filters always have poles.
• If poles lie ON the unit circle then the system may be marginally
stable. We will not deal with that in this course. All you will
need to know is that z-plane poles must lie WITHIN the unit
circle for a digital system to be stable.

DIGITAL ANALYSIS
ANALOGUE ANALYSIS
Why does it help?
It turns out that if you are designing digital systems that will be
processing signals generated by sampling, and then the output will be
reconstructed to give an analogue signal, this connection helps.
An example of this would be an audio processing system where an
analogue signal from a microphone is digitized for processing before
being converted back into an analogue signal and sent to a loudspeaker.
But we will not be dealing with that in this course. That’s got
more to do with design. In this course we just want you to get a
handle on the tools, and the rough lay of the land.
