Note 44. The z Transform
The z transform is a mathematical tool that plays a role in the analysis of discrete-time systems similar to the role played by the Laplace transform in the analysis of lumped-parameter continuous-time systems. It has a place in the theoretical exploration of all linear shift-invariant discrete-time systems, but in practice, the z transform (and its relationship to the Laplace transform) is most commonly used in the design of IIR filters. In fact, some authors, such as Lyons [1], discuss the z transform only in conjunction with IIR filter design.
Sometimes, pole and zero locations (which are features obtained from the z transform) are used as visualization aids to provide insight into the behavior of adaptive filters ...
