Tutorial 2

The document contains solutions to exercises on finding the Z-transform of sequences, determining system stability based on the region of convergence (ROC) of a transfer function, finding the inverse Z-transform, and computing the output of a linear time-invariant system. An example calculates the output of a stable system with impulse response H(z)=3/(1+1/3z^-1) when the input is a unit step sequence, using both convolution and taking the inverse Z-transform of the output transfer function.

Exercise
Find the Z transform of

n

n
u[n 1]
1
Solution
The ROC of rst sequence is |z| > 1/2 and the second sequence is |z| < 1/3.
There is no common intersection and hence the Z transform of the given
sequence does not exist.
Exercise
Consider a causal system whose system function H(z) has two poles at the
point z = 2 and z = 1/2. Is the system stable?
Solution
Since the system is causal, the ROC extends outwards from the outermost
pole. Hence, in this case, the ROC is |z| > 2. Now, in order to be stable,
the ROC of H(z) should include the unit circle. Since |z| > 2, the unit circle
(i.e. |z| = 1) is not included in the ROC. Hence the system is not stable.
Exercise
Find the inverse Z-transform of
X(z) = log(1 + az
1
), |z| > |a|
Solution
Method 1
Using the Taylor series expansion for log(1 +x) with x < 1, we obtain
X(z) =

Suppose x[n], the input to the system is a unit step sequence.
1. Find the output y[n] by evaluating the discrete convolution of x[n] and
h[n].
2. Find the output y[n] by computing the inverse transform of Y (z).
Solution
1. The ROC of H(z) can be either |z| >
1
3
or |z| <
1
3
. Since the system
is stable, the ROC includes the unit circle. Therefore ROC: |z| >

Hence,

Now, ROC of Y (z) contains the intersection of |z| > 1/3 and |z| > 1.
