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}, \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{-1}{z} \frac{1}{1-\frac{3}{z}} $

$       =\frac{-1}{z} \sum_{n=0}^{+\infty} (\frac{3}{z})^n = \sum_{n=0}^{+\infty} (-z^{-1}) (3z^{-1})^n  $
NOTE: $  (3z^{-1})^n = (3^n) (z^{-n})  $ 
$  \sum_{n=0}^{+\infty} -3^n z^{-n-1} = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{+\infty} -3^n u[n] z^{-n-1}  $
