Please explain Multiplication property in Z transform?

I am having problem visualizing contour any example will be great help. As far as as where I need it I was trying to find Z transform of a contracted signal by first multiplication by impulse train.

Determine filter type using recurrence relation

Given the recurrence relation: $y[n] = x[n] + 0.5y[n-1]$ I want to determine the filter type (i.e. LPF, HPF etc.) I try to use Z transform, and get that the the transfer function is $H(z) = \frac{2z}{...

DTFT of $ f[k] = 3^k u(-k-1)$

Find the Discrete-time Fourier transform of $ f[k] = 3^k u(-k-1)$ (then sketch it and find its magnitude & angle). It doesn't fit any templates on the Fourier table, and I don't see how one ...

z-transform of $2^k$

It seems that you can decompose it as such: $f(n) = a^n u(n) + a^{-n} u(-n-1)$ But I already have issue here, is it basically saying that $ u(n) + u(-n-1) = 1$? this is the plot of u(n) and u(-...

Why the number of poles and zeros for a RHS signal in the Z domain is equal?

I can not understand the reason why the following sentence is true: If we have a Right-Hand signal(RHS) x(n), X(z), the Z-transform of x(n), has the same number of poles and zeros except at z = ...

How to compute the inverse Z-transform

How to compute the inverse Z-transform of the form $$ G(z)=\frac{z^{2n}}{a(z^{2n})+b(z^n)+c} $$ I started by taking $$ F(z^n)=G(z) $$ so $$ \frac{F(z)}{z}=\frac{z}{az^2+bz+c}$$ This can be solved ...

Calculating the output of a pole eigen signal in a difference equation

Let an IAR system be defined by the following difference equation: $$y[n]-\frac{1}{4} y[n-2]=x[n]+3x[n-1]$$ and an input signal $x[n]=(-0.5)^n$. The transfer function is defined as $H^z(z)=\frac{1+3z^{...

How do I find the ROC of a system if it has no poles

The output of a system of discrete time $y[n]$ is corellated with the input $x[n]$ through the equation $y[n]$. $$y[n] = \frac 13\big(x[n-1]+x[n]+x[n+1]\big)$$ It then asks me to find the system ...
