Common Z-Transform Pairs
Z-Transform
Z-transform is a mathematical tool which is used to convert the difference equations in time domain into the algebraic equations in the frequency domain.
Mathematically, if $\mathrm{\mathit{x\left ( n \right )}}$ is a discrete-time sequence, then its Z-transform is defined as −
$$\mathrm{\mathit{X\left ( z \right )\mathrm{\, =\,}\sum_{n\mathrm{\, =\,}-\infty }^{\infty }x\left ( n \right )z^{-n}\; \; \; \cdot \cdot \cdot \left ( \mathrm{1} \right )}}$$
Where, z is a complex variable. The z-transform defined in eq. (1) is called bilateral or two-sided z-transform.
The unilateral or one-sided z-transform is defined as −
$$\mathrm{\mathit{X\left ( z \right )\mathrm{\, =\,}\sum_{n\mathrm{\, =\,}\mathrm{0}}^{\infty }x\left ( n \right )z^{-n}\; \; \; \cdot \cdot \cdot \left ( \mathrm{2} \right )}}$$

The following table gives a number of unilateral and bilateral z-transforms along with their region of convergence (ROC) −
