This document discusses the Z-transform and its application in digital signal processing. It covers topics such as:
1) Defining the Z-transform and how it can characterize linear time-invariant (LTI) systems.
2) Properties of LTI systems in the Z-domain, including causal and stable systems.
3) How the frequency response of a system can be obtained from its Z-transform.
4) Methods for finding the inverse Z-transform, including power series and partial fraction expansion.
5) Examples of using these techniques to analyze simple discrete systems.
