Discrete-Time Systems A discrete-time system processes a given input sequence x[] to generates an output sequencey[n] with more desirable properties In most applications, the discrete-time system is a single-input, single-output system:
Z-Transform The DTFT provides a frequency-domain representation of discrete-time signals and LTI discrete-time systems Because of the convergence condition, in many cases. the DTFT of a sequence may not exist As a result, it is not possible to make use of such frequency-domain characterization in these cases
