System RealizationThe realization of a continuous-time system means obtaining a network corresponding to the differential equation or transfer function of the system.Block DiagramA diagram of a system in which the main parts or functions are represented by blocks connected by the lines that show the relationship of the blocks is called the block diagram of that system.Elements to Construct the Block-Diagram of Continuous- Time SystemThe transfer function of a continuous-time system can be realised either by using integrators or differentiators. Although, due to certain drawbacks, the differentiators are not used to realise the practical systems. The chief drawback of differentiators ... Read More

Z-TransformThe Z-transform is a mathematical tool which is used to convert the difference equations in discrete time domain into the algebraic equations in z-domain. Mathematically, if $\mathit{x}\mathrm{\left(\mathit{n}\right)}$ is a discrete time function, then its Z-transform is defined as, $$\mathrm{\mathit{Z}\mathrm{\left[\mathit{x}\mathrm{\left(\mathit{n}\right)}\right]}\:\mathrm{=}\:\mathit{X}\mathrm{\left(\mathit{z}\right)}\:\mathrm{=}\:\sum_{\mathit{n=-\infty}}^{\infty}\mathit{x}\mathrm{\left(\mathit{n}\right)}\mathit{z^{-\mathit{n}}}}$$Transform Analysis of Discrete-Time SystemThe Z-transform plays a vital role in the design and analysis of discrete-time LTI (Linear Time Invariant) systems.Transfer Function of a Discrete-Time LTI SystemThe figure shows a discrete-time LTI system having an impulse response $\mathit{h}\mathrm{\left(\mathit{n}\right)}$.Consider the system gives an output $\mathit{y}\mathrm{\left(\mathit{n}\right)}$ for an input $\mathit{x}\mathrm{\left(\mathit{n}\right)}$. Then, $$\mathrm{\mathit{y}\mathrm{\left(\mathit{n}\right)}\:\mathrm{=}\:\mathit{h}\mathrm{\left(\mathit{n}\right)}*\mathit{x}\mathrm{\left(\mathit{n}\right)}}$$Taking Z-transform on both the sides, we get, $$\mathrm{\mathit{Z}\mathrm{\left[ \mathit{y}\mathrm{\left(\mathit{n}\right)}\right]}\:\mathrm{\mathrm{=}}\mathit{Z}\mathrm{\left[\mathit{h}\mathrm{\left(\mathit{n}\right)}*\mathit{x}\mathrm{\left(\mathit{n}\right)} \right ]}}$$$$\mathrm{\therefore ...

SamplingThe process of converting a continuous-time signal into a discrete-time signal is called the sampling.After sampling, the signal is defined at discrete-instants of time and the time interval between two successive sampling instants is called the sampling period.Sampling TechniquesThe sampling of a signal is done in several ways. Generally, there are three types of sampling techniques viz. −Instantaneous Sampling or Impulse SamplingNatural SamplingFlat Top SamplingHere, the instantaneous sampling or impulse sampling is also called the ideal sampling, whereas the natural sampling and flat top sampling are called the practical sampling techniques. These three sampling methods are explained as follows −Ideal ... Read More

Stability and CausalityThe necessary and sufficient condition for a causal linear time invariant (LTI) discrete-time system to be BIBO stable is given by, $$\mathrm{\mathit{\sum_{n=\mathrm{0}}^{\infty }\left|h\left ( n \right ) \right|< \infty }}$$Therefore, if the impulse response of an LTI discrete-time system is absolutely summable, then the system is BIBO stable.Also, for the system to be causal, the impulse response of the system must be equal to zero for 𝑛 < 0, i.e., $$\mathrm{\mathit{h\left ( n \right )=\mathrm{0};\; \; \mathrm{for}\: n< \mathrm{0}}}$$In other words, if the given LTI discrete-time system is causal, then the region of convergence (ROC) for H(z) will ...
