Title
Fair and Square Computation of Inverse $ {\cal Z}$ -Transforms of Rational Functions
Abstract
ll methods presented in textbooks for computing inverse $ {\cal Z}$-transforms of rational functions have some limitation: 1) the direct division method does not, in general, provide enough information to derive an analytical expression for the time-domain sequence $x(k)$ whose $ {\cal Z}$-transform is $X(z)$ ; 2) computation using the inversion integral method becomes labored when $X(z)z^{k-1}$ has poles at the origin of the complex plane; 3) the partial-fraction expansion method, in spite of being acknowledged as the simplest and easiest one to compute the inverse $ {\cal Z}$-transform and being widely used in textbooks, lacks a standard procedure like its inverse Laplace transform counterpart. This paper addresses all the difficulties of the existing methods for computing inverse $ {\cal Z}$ -transforms of rational functions, presents an easy and straightforward way to overcome the limitation of the inversion integral method when $X(z)z^{k-1}$ has poles at the origin, and derives five expressions for the pairs of time-domain sequences and corresponding $ {\cal Z}$-transforms that are actually needed in the computation of inverse $ {\cal Z}$ -transform using partial-fraction expansion.
