Hello, can we use Z-transform on continuous time signals to find their z-domain analysis. (what do we really realize in z-domain and how is it different from frequency domain analysis) and also can we use Laplace for discrete time signals. Also what kind of analysis/information can we get from i) Laplace Transform ii) Z Transform iii) Fourier Transform iv) Hilbert Transform (PS. no arrogance)

Sounds like homework to me. Good luck. Fred

Are you really a communications_engineer, as your handle claims? Look up the terms that interest you using, say, Google.

But you should really start by reading these topics in your textbooks and/or Wikipedia first. This will give you the most information in the shortest time. (Plus you can choose not to read authors that you find arrogant, if any.) People here are usually helpful, even more so when you show at least some effort. You should do your homework first and not ask for what is easily and widely accessible. Then, you should be more specific in your questions to get a satisfactory answer. Having said that, your first question is the closest to having these features. The answer, as other posters pointed, is "NO" (and a big one, too.) Z-transform is a mapping *defined* for discrete signals. That means, it doesn't apply to continuous signals. Period. If you had asked "What happens when you increase your sampling rate indefinitely? What does the transform approach in the limit?" that would be a more interesting question. (I'm not claiming that this questions makes sense, but it certainly requires a bit more thought. See what I mean?) Hope this helps. Emre

Please show me a "t" in the z-transform.> z = e^(sT) is an analogue transformation.This is a mapping from C to C (C = the complex plane) - it is not a transform. -- % Randy Yates % "My Shangri-la has gone away, fading like %% Fuquay-Varina, NC % the Beatles on 'Hey Jude'" %%% 919-577-9882 % %%%% <yates@ieee.org> % 'Shangri-La', *A New World Record*, ELO http://www.digitalsignallabs.com
