z-transform of cos kθ and aᵏ cos kθ
Short answer
Use scaling property Z[a^k x(k)]=X(z/a) on Z[cos kθ]=z(z-cosθ)/(z^2-2z cosθ+1) to obtain Z[a^k cos kθ]=z(z - a cosθ)/(z^2 - 2a z cosθ + a^2), |z|>|a|.
Show that the Z-transform of cos kθ is z(z - cosθ)/(z² - 2z cosθ + 1). Use this result to find the Z-transform of aᵏ cos kθ.
Z-transform of cos kθ
Use Euler's formula cos kθ = (e^{jkθ} + e^{−jkθ})/2 and Z[bᵏ] = z/(z − b), |z| > |b|.
Z[cos kθ] = ½ [ z/(z − e^{jθ}) + z/(z − e^{−jθ}) ]
= ½ · z [ (z − e^{−jθ}) + (z − e^{jθ}) ]
/ [ (z − e^{jθ})(z − e^{−jθ}) ]
= ½ · z [ 2z − 2 cos θ ] / [ z² − 2z cos θ + 1 ]
Z[cos kθ] = z (z − cos θ) / (z² − 2z cos θ + 1), |z| > 1. ✓
Z-transform of aᵏ cos kθ
Scaling (damping) property: if Z[x(k)] = X(z), then Z[aᵏ x(k)] = X(z/a).
Replace z by z/a:
Z[aᵏ cos kθ] = (z/a)(z/a − cos θ) / ( z²/a² − 2(z/a) cos θ + 1 )
= (z/a)(z − a cos θ)/a · a² / (z² − 2az cos θ + a²)
Answer: Z[aᵏ cos kθ] = z (z − a cos θ) / (z² − 2a z cos θ + a²), |z| > |a|.
