6.4 z-TRANSFORM OF RIGHT-SIDED EXPONENTIAL SEQUENCES

The right-sided exponential sequence can be determined mathematically as

 

 

This sequence exists for positive values of n.

Fig. 6.1 shows the plot of this sequence.

The z-transform of x(n) is given by

 

 

Here x(n) = aⁿ for n ≥ 0 and hence the above equation becomes

 

 

Expanding the above equation we can write

 

 

X(z) will converge for | az⁻¹ | ...
