The document summarizes key concepts about the z-transform, which is the discrete-time counterpart of the Laplace transform. It defines the z-transform, compares it to the discrete-time Fourier transform (DTFT), and discusses its region of convergence (ROC). Examples are provided to illustrate ROCs for different types of sequences, including right-sided, left-sided, and two-sided exponential sequences as well as a finite-length sequence. Common z-transform pairs are also listed.
