Advanced z-transform

Summary

In mathematics and signal processing, the advanced z-transform is an extension of the z-transform, to incorporate ideal delays that are not multiples of the sampling time. It takes the form

where

  • T is the sampling period
  • m (the "delay parameter") is a fraction of the sampling period

It is also known as the modified z-transform.

The advanced z-transform is widely applied, for example to accurately model processing delays in digital control.

Properties edit

If the delay parameter, m, is considered fixed then all the properties of the z-transform hold for the advanced z-transform.

Linearity edit

 

Time shift edit

 

Damping edit

 

Time multiplication edit

 

Final value theorem edit

 

Example edit

Consider the following example where  :

 

If   then   reduces to the transform

 

which is clearly just the z-transform of  .
