Practice Question, ECE438 Fall 2013, Prof. Boutin

On computing the inverse z-transform of a discrete-time signal.


Compute the inverse z-transform of

$ X(z) =\frac{1}{(3-z)(2-z)}, \quad \text{ROC} \quad |z|>3 $.

(Write enough intermediate steps to fully justify your answer.)

Answer 1

$ X(z) =\frac{1}{(\frac{3z}{z}-z)(\frac{2z}{z}-z)} \quad $

$ =-\frac{1}{z}\frac{1}{1-\frac{3}{z}}(-\frac{1}{z}\frac{1}{1-\frac{2}{z}}) \quad $

$ =(\sum_{n=0}^{+\infty}-\frac{1}{z}(\frac{3}{z})^n)(\sum_{n=0}^{+\infty}-\frac{1}{z}(\frac{2}{z})^n) $

$ =(-\sum_{n=0}^{+\infty}3^nz^{-n-1})(-\sum_{n=0}^{+\infty}2^nz^{-n-1}) $

$ =(-\sum_{n=-\infty}^{+\infty}3^nu[n]z^{-n-1})(-\sum_{n=-\infty}^{+\infty}2^nu[n]z^{-n-1}) $

Let $ n=k-1 $

$ =(-\sum_{k=-\infty}^{+\infty}3^nu[k-1]z^{-k})(-\sum_{k=-\infty}^{+\infty}2^nu[k-1]z^{-k}) $

By observing that $ X(z) =\sum_{n=-\infty}^{+\infty}x[n]z^{-n} $

$ x[n] =(-3^{n-1}u[n-1])(-2^{n-1}u[n-1]) $

$ =6^{n-1}u[n-1] $
