rd
Edition, published 2010:
Probs. 2.24, 2.66, 2.73
Homework #1 MATLAB Projects and Exercises (on class web site, along with needed
dtft.m file).

Should you be in this class? If your discrete-time signal processing (DSP) and/or mathematics
background is weak, please see background material, such as presented in Fall 2013 in EE 505
PMP and/or make use of inexpensive books such as Hayes, Schaums Outline of Digital Signal
Processing, Second Edition, 2011 and, if also needed, Hsu, Schaums Outline of Signals and
Systems, Second Edition, 2010. This course presumes a solid understanding of linear time-
invariant systems, discrete-time signals, basic sampling, Fourier transforms and some
background in bilateral z-transforms. You also should have some initial experience in
MATLAB.

where the only non discrete-time portion of this block diagram is the green Analog
FE (front end) and the output DACs (digital-to-analog converters).


History of DSP
Back in 1960s:
* numerical analysis (finite difference), too difficult to solve differential equation in continuous
variables, used discrete simulation
* slow simulations of expensive analog systems
* speech processing
Earlier limitations, such as expensive storage and slow computation, have all come around, and
abundant storage and super-fast computation have become advantages of DSP.

DSP systems are now easy to design and test:
1. MATLAB and lots of other tools to facilitate digital system design
2. lots of existing code (e.g., FFTW, Fastest Fourier Transform in the West
www.fftw.org)
3. relatively easy to implement new systems in C/C++or J ava or even FORTRAN

image of the above figure and most future lecture notes figures might unfortunately sometimes be
seen. This is due to a bug which remains in all versions of Microsoft Jounal and/or Adobe Acrobat.

are shown in figures 1.3 and 1.4 below.

1. As a combination by sum of sequences, each a weighted and shifted version of the
impulse response, shown in Figure 1.3.

Figure 1.4. Convolution: second view.

Linear time-invariant systems are completely described via convolution with an impulse
response [ ] h n . But an often more illuminating way to to characterize LTI systems is via their
frequency response. But why??

Frequency Domain Representation of Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) Discrete-Time Systems
Consider [ ]
j n
x n e

= as an input, to an LTI system, namely
( )
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]

Then define

Aside: is an independent variable representing frequency. This ( )
j
H e

notation will make
more sense when we see the periodicity section on the next page, and even more sense when we
do the z-transform.

For the input [ ]
j n
x n e

= , the output [ ] y n is, with our definition above,
[ ] ( )
j j n
y n H e e

=

Looking at this result in a figure helps show its profound impact:

Thus
j n
e

is an eigenfunction
2
for an LTI system. Namely, applying an LTI system {} T to
certain special inputs produces outputs that are identical to those inputs multiplied by a
(complex) constant.
{ } [ ] ( ) ( )
j n j n j j j n
T e y n e H e H e e

= = =
where ( )
j
H e

is eigenvalue and
j n
e

is eigenfunction.

What is this complex constant? ( )
j
H e

is the frequency response of the system, It signifies how
the system responds to a particular input frequency.

Why is the above important? Most signals can be represented as an infinite sum of complex
exponentials. With linearity and time invariance, weighted sums of the above elementary
eigenfunctions can exactly predict the LTI system output for these signals.
Periodicity of Frequency Response
The frequency response of an LTI system with impulse response [ ] h n is
( ) [ ]

Thus ( )
j

is periodic with period 2 . This periodicity is one reason for the notation used for
frequency response in our text.

Eigenvectors and eigenvalues in Linear Algebra: letAbe a square matrix, x be a vector, be a
scalar. If = Ax x for somex and , thenx is eigenvector and is eigenvalue for matrixA.
Applying the system of matrix multiplication tox is equivalent to multiplyingx by a constant.

Symmetry Properties of the FT for Real Sequences
For any real [ ] x n
( ) ( )
j j
X e X e

=

i.e., the FT has conjugate-symmetry for real signals. Both sides of this expression can be
expressed in Cartesian form as a sum of its real and imaginary components like this:
( ) ( ) ( ) ( )
j j j j
R I R I
X e jX e X e jX e

+ =
from which it follows by separating the real and imaginary parts that (for real sequences!) the
real part is even,
( ) ( )
j j
R R
X e X e

=
and the imaginary part is odd,
( ) ( )
j j
I I
X e X e

= .

Furthermore, by expressing ( )
j
X e

in polar form

( )
( ) ( )
j
j j j X e
X e X e e


=, ,
it can be shown for real sequences that the magnitude is an even function of
( ) ( )
j j
X e X e

, ,=, ,
and the phase is can be chosen to be an odd function of
( ) ( )
j j
X e X e

= .

Also,
[ ] ( )

x n X e



So, a sequence that is real and even in time has a FT which is real and even in frequency. These
properties and a few more are given in O&S Table 2.1 on page 56.

Definition 4. Right Sided Sequence [ ] x n is right sided if there exists anN such that [ ] 0 x n = for

Questions: Is causal sequence right sided? Yes. Is right sided sequence causal? No, not
necessarily, since N could be less than 0.

Definition 5. Left Sided Sequence [ ] x n is left sided if there exists anN such that [ ] 0 x n = for
n N > > .

Definition 6. Two-Sided Sequence If [ ] x n is infinitely long but neither left sided nor right sided,
then [ ] x n is two-sided.

Note: both of the above examples have same pole-zero diagram with pole at z a = . So the same
z-transform ratio can lead to two different sequences. Therefore it is necessary to give both the z-
transform expression and its ROC to uniquely specify a sequence. This need to specify the ROC
holds for essentially all z-transforms.

Properties of the Region of Convergence (ROC) for the z-
Transform
Property 1. The ROC is a ring or a dish in z-plane centered at the origin, i.e.,
0
R L
r z r <, ,<

Property 2. The FT of [ ] x n converges absolutely if and only if
{ 1} ROC z z :, ,=

Property 3. The ROC contains no poles by definition.

Property 4. If [ ] x n is finite duration sequence, i.e., [ ] x n is non-zero only when

1 2
N n N < <
The ROC will be either { } z or { 0} z or { } z or { 0and } z z .

Property 5. If [ ] x n is a right-sided sequence, then the ROC extends outward from outmost
(largest magnitude) finite pole of ( ) X z to (and possibly including) z = .

Property 6. If [ ] x n is a left-sided sequence, its ROC extends inward from the innermost non-
zero pole of ( ) X z and might include 0 z = .

Property 7. If [ ] x n is two sided sequence, and if the circle
0
z r , ,= is in ROC, then the ROC will
consist of a ring in the z-plane which includes
0
z r , ,= .

Property 8. The ROC must be a connected region.
Note from Property 7, any sequence can be expressed as the sum of a left-sided sequence and a
right-sided sequence. So if the intersection exists, it must be formed by

R L
d z d <, ,<
Hence, poles determine possible types of ROCs.

Why do we care about z-transforms??

One main reason

So as in the case of Fourier transform, z-transforms techniques simplify the mathematics needed
to characterize and solve for the responses of LTI systems. But the steady-state restriction of
Fourier transform solutions are greatly expanded via more general solutions of the z-transform.

But if we can now find an ( ) X z , ( ) H z , and ( ) Y z , how can we then determine the
corresponding [ ] x n , [ ] h n , and/or [ ] y n ? This next section covers that.

The Inverse z-Transform
The inverse z-transform equation can be written as

Integrating the real variable over ( , ) is equivalent to integrating the related complex
variable
j
z re

= over the contour C, which is denoted by the contour integral .
C

The contour C
is a counter-clockwise closed circular contour centered at the origin with radius r such that
{ } ROC z z r : , ,= ,

because r may be anything in the region of convergence.

Easier Ways to Compute the Inverse z-Transform
Inspection Technique
Use the known z-transform pairs (O&S table 3.1, page 110) and the z-transform properties (such
as linearity!) (O&S table 3.2, page 132).

Partial Fraction Expansion Technique
There are some common forms of the z-transform for which we can get the inverse relatively
easily by inspection. The goal of the partial fraction expansion technique is to get a given
z-transform expression in such a form.

The first term is obtainable by long division (example later). The second term is obtainable by
the same procedure used when . N M > This technique of finding the partial fraction expansion
of a z-transform is referred to as the Heaviside cover-up method, and works also for cases with
repeated roots (see text and links on class web site for more details). In its most general form,
the z-transform can be written as

Some Example Problems
A Hard Problem (that you should understand, but perhaps cannot solve): Example 1
(Shows that: a) complex number impulse responses can also be handled by the procedures we
have, b) resorting to Fourier transforms isnt always appropriate, and c) that there are solvable
hard problems.)
