    Match Z-transform
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on matching Z-transforms to plots of continuous-time signals, specifically uct(t) = sin(2πt) and vct(t) = e^(-t)sin(2πt), based on their sampling times. The user analyzes the Z-transform equations, noting that both equations 2 and 3 have a damping factor of d=1, indicating they are undamped systems. They calculate values for c based on the generic denominator, which leads them to a point of confusion regarding the correct plot association. A suggestion is made to count samples per period in one plot, which ultimately helps the user find the correct answer. The discussion concludes with the user successfully identifying the correct match for the Z-transforms.

Homework Statement


In Figure Q1b (on the next page), two plots display samples of the continuous-time signal uct(t) = sin(2πt) and two plots display samples of the continuous-time signal vct(t) = e −t sin(2πt). For each signal, the samples in the corresponding plots are obtained with two different sampling times. Associate each of the four plots with the corresponding Z transform in the list and justify your answer:

The Attempt at a Solution


Ok so using considering the generic denominator of the Z transform of a sinusoid:

z2+2cdz+d2

I can see that both equations 2 and 3 have a value of d=1 hence they are both undamped systems, so they are either one of (b) or (c)

Then from the generic denominator equation:

for (2) c=-2cos(ωT) =1.9842
= cos(ωT) = -0.9921

For (3) c=-2cos(ωT) =-1.9646
= cos(ωT) = 0.9823

Its at this point I am stuck on what I need to do and how to see which one of b and c is the correct plot?

Thanks for any tips!

In (b) you can count the samples per periode ( about 33.2 samples ). As one period is 360°, (b) matches a polepair = 1 / ±10.84°.

Now solve the roots in denominator in 2) and 3). See if there is a match.
 
Sorry for the late response, my revision swapped to a different module. That's great thank you managed to solve it for the correct answer using that
