Z transform of a discrete filter

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on deriving the difference equation for a discrete filter characterized by the transfer function H(Z) = (1 + (1/2)z-1) / ((1 - (1/2)z-1)(1 + (1/3)z-1)). The solution provided is y(k) - (1/6)y(k-1) - (1/6)y(k-2) = u(k) + (1/2)y(k-1). Participants emphasize the importance of expressing H(z) as Y(z)/U(z) and applying the Z-inverse transform to derive the correct relationship between input u(k) and output y(k).

The question is to find the difference equation relating u(k) and y(k), which are input and output respectively.

H(Z) is given as

H(Z) = [tex]\frac{1+(1/2)z^{-1}}{(1-(1/2)z^{-1})(1+(1/3)z^{-1})}[/tex]


Solution that is given:

y(k)-[tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]y(k-1)-[tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]y(k-2) = u(k)+[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]y(k-1)


I have had many attempts and haven't be correct. The thing is i am applying the same method as questions of a similar nature which i got correct. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

Ok, but what have you tried so far? All you need do is to write H(z)=Y(z)/U(z) and then express Y(z) (...) = U(z) (...) where ... refers to the appropriate expression terms of the transfer function. Then simply apply the Z-inverse transform to get the answer.
