Z-trans

Hi:

what is the physical meaning behind Z-transform and relation with laplace transform.

thx all.
 

Re: Z-trans

The physical meaning lies in the region being considered while taking different transforms.

Re: Z-trans

Both is the frequency response.But the difference is that laplace is for continous signal and z transform is for discrete-time signal..

Maybe you should take the signal-and system class for that.
 

Re: Z-trans

The Z-Transform like other transforms (e.g. Fourier, Laplace) maps/transforms a signal from one domain to another. For instance the fourier transform of a signal will give us info. on the frequency spectrum of the signal in frequency domain. The Z-transform of the signal will give rise to the pole-zero plot which discusses issues such as stability, causality etc. of the system.
 

Re: Z-trans

Z-transform is discrete version of the S-domain transform. There are some ways to transform S-domain transfer functions to Z-domain.
For example bilinear transformation where H(z)=H(s) when S=2.Fs.Z-1/Z+1.
 

Z-trans

z-transe is more general than fourier trans.u know some signal which are not absolutly sumable have z-transe you know it is a math tools and no pysical meaning(but fourier transe have)
 

Z-trans

Many real world systems behaviour is correctly described by sets of linear differential equations (or linear difference equations in the case of discrete-time systems). The solutions to these sets of equations take the form of a linear combination of e^-st. Laplace transform represents signals and system responses in terms of linear combinations of e^st and so makes it possible to convert a set of linear differential equations into a set of ordinary linear equations which can then be solved using
gaussian elimination or some such method. That is
the significance of the Laplace transform ;) For Z transform it is the same as Laplace but for discrete
time systems. The Z transform can be viewed as the laplace transform in which the jw access has been mapped onto the unit circle.
 

Re: Z-trans

there are pdf doc. about z-trans
It is very good
