The Z Transform Calculator is one of the few online tools that allows you to calculate the z-transform of a function. To calculate z-transforms with this calculator you only have to perform three simple steps:

  1. Choose the independent variable that you will use as a reference to compute the z-transform.
  2. Enter the mathematical expression you want to transform to the z-domain. To do this you must use the allowed functions that are presented in table number 1.
  3. Press the "Solve" button and doing so will display a box with the solution.

What is Z-Transform?

The Z-Transform is a tool that provides a method to characterize signals and discrete-time systems by means of poles and zeros in the Z domain.

The Z Transform, X(z), is the equivalent of the Laplace Transform for discrete time. Since z is a complex variable, the domain Z is a complex plane.

The Z-transform X(z) of a signal x[n] is defined as the power series:

X(z) = +∞x = −∞ x[nzn
Z Transform formula

where z is a complex variable and the sum is taken over all possible values of n.

The Z-transform is a mathematical tool used to analyze discrete-time signals and systems. It is a powerful tool for understanding the behavior of such systems, and it has numerous applications in engineering, including in the fields of electrical engineering, control engineering, and digital signal processing.

The Z-transform has a number of useful properties, including linearity, time shifting, and frequency shifting. It can also be used to find the transfer function of a discrete-time system, which describes how the system responds to different input signals.

One of the key benefits of the Z-transform is that it allows us to analyze the behavior of discrete-time systems in the frequency domain, using techniques that are similar to those used to analyze continuous-time systems in the frequency domain using the Laplace transform. This makes it possible to understand the frequency response of discrete-time systems and to design filters and other types of signal processing systems.

Overall, the Z-transform is a powerful and versatile tool for understanding and analyzing discrete-time systems, and it has numerous applications in engineering and other fields.
