1. Which of the following justifies the linearity property of z-transform?[x(n)↔X(z)].
A. x(n)+y(n) ↔ X(z)Y(z)
B. x(n)+y(n) ↔ X(z)+Y(z)
C. x(n)y(n) ↔ X(z)+Y(z)
D. x(n)y(n) ↔ X(z)Y(z)
Answer: B
According to the linearity property of z-transform, if X(z) and Y(z) are the z-transforms of x(n) and y(n) respectively then, the z-transform of x(n)+y(n) is X(z)+Y(z).
2. What is the z-transform of the signal x(n)=[3(2n)-4(3n)]u(n)?
A. \(\frac{3}{1-2z^{-1}}-\frac{4}{1-3z^{-1}}\)
B. \(\frac{3}{1-2z^{-1}}-\frac{4}{1+3z^{-1}}\)
C. \(\frac{3}{1-2z}-\frac{4}{1-3z}\)
D. None of the mentioned
Answer: A
Let us divide the given x(n) into x1(n)=3(2n)u(n) and x2(n)= 4(3n)u(n)
and x(n)=x1(n)-x2(n)
From the definition of z-transform
X1(z)=\(\frac{3}{1-2z^{-1}}\) and X2(z)=\(\frac{4}{1-3z^{-1}}\)
Therefore, we get \(-z\frac{dX(z)}{dz}\) = Z{nx(n)}.
11. What is the z-transform of the signal x(n)=nanu(n)?
A. \(\frac{(az)^{-1}}{(1-(az)^{-1})^2}\)
B. \(\frac{az^{-1}}{(1-(az)^{-1})^2}\)
C. \(\frac{az^{-1}}{(1-az^{-1})^2}\)
D. \(\frac{az^{-1}}{(1+az^{-1})^2}\)
Answer: C
We know that Z{anu(n)}=\(\frac{1}{1-az^{-1}}\)=X(z) (say)
Now the z-transform of nanu(n)=\(-z\frac{dX(z)}{dz} = \frac{az^{-1}}{(1-az^{-1})^2}\)
