SUMMARY

The Z-transform of the function x(n) = sin(Bn) is evaluated and determined to be zero. The analysis involves splitting the function into two components: sin(Bn)u(n) and sin(Bn)u(-n-1). The Z-transform of the first component is derived from a standard table, while the second component is shown to yield an equivalent transform, leading to the conclusion that X(z) simplifies to zero. This confirms that the Z-transform of sin(Bn) is indeed zero.

Homework Statement



I'm trying to take the (two-sided, aka defined for all n) Z-transform of

x(n)=sin(Bn)

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution



What I tried to do was split x(n) into

x(n)=sin(Bn)u(n)+sin(Bn)u(-n-1)

The Z transform of the first part of x(n) was found from a table. The z transform of the 2nd was found from the fact that the z transform of -sin(Bn)u(-n-1) equals the z transform of sin(Bn)u(n)

X(z)=\frac{z sin(B)}{z^2-2zcos(B)+1}-\frac{z sin(B)}{z^2-2zcos(B)+1}

So the z transform is zero? Could this be?
