Inverse Z Transform
Inverse Z Transform
Generally, the z-transforms are the ratios of polynomials in the complex variable z. Basically with the numerator polynomial being of order no higher than the denominator.
Use to obtain the output time response of a system. Methods to find the inverse z-transform :
a) power series (long division);
The coefficients of the associated sequence y(nT ) at the sampling instants can be obtained and the time function y(t) is then determined as:
Method 1: Power series. This method involves dividing the denominator of Y (z) into the numerator such that a power series of the form:
Method 2: Partial fractions. Similar to the inverse Laplace transform techniques, a partial fraction expansion of the function Y (z) can be found, and then tables of known z-transforms can be used to determine the inverse z-transform. Example 3.2 Find the inverse z-transform of the function Solution The above expression can be written as,
The values of A and B can be found by equating like powers in the numerator,
i.e: We find A = -1, B =1, giving
Example 3.3 Using the partial expansion method described above, find the inverse z-transform of:

Find the inverse z-transform of
Method 3:
Inversion formula method. The inverse z-transform can be obtained using the inversion integral, defined by:
