Applications of Laplace transform:
• For a system with a rational system function causality of the system is equivalent
to the ROC being to the right half plane to the right of the right most pole.
• An LTI system is stable if and only if the ROC of its system function H(s) include
the entire j? axis. (i.e. Re(s) = 0)

If x(t) is the signal then its z transform X(z) is defined as follows: -

X(z) = S x[n]. z

n=-8
Note: Every transform is of the form ?x(t).k(s,t)dt.

ROC of Z transform:
ROC (region of convergence) of Z transform is the region in the x-y plane where Z
transform is valid. It dose not have any pole. It is a ring in z- plane centered about
origin. If x[n] is of finite duration then ROC in the entire Z plane except possibly z =
0 and/or z = 8.
For e.g. X(z) = 1/z+a is Valid if z > -a and we draw a circle with center origin and
radius |a| in the z plane and if the transform is valid for values greater than a then the
ROC is exterior of the circle and if less than a then interior of the circle.. If there are
more than one root the overlapping area is the ROC.
For e.g. X(z) = 1/((z+a)(z+b)) where |a| < |b| say then,

If x[n] = 0 for n < 0 then x[0] = Lim
