This document contains slides from a lecture on the z-transform and discrete-time linear time-invariant (LTI) systems. The slides cover properties of the z-transform including shift properties, convolution properties, and other properties related to scaling, time reversal, and initial values. They also discuss how to represent discrete-time LTI systems using difference equations and transfer functions in the z-domain. Methods for realizing LTI systems like direct form I and II structures are presented. The slides show examples of finding frequency responses of systems and mapping between the s-plane and z-plane representations of systems.
