The Z-transform is essentially a clever database that can store and operate on the values of a discrete-time signal. The inverse Z-transform can be used to query the database.

Sampling. Part III
In previous posts we have explored sampling of continuous-time signals and introduced the Z-transform as a tool to work with discrete-time signals. In this post we address the other end of the process, that is the reconstruction of a signal from its samples.

The Z-transform does to discrete-time signals and systems what the Laplace transform does to a continuous-time signals and systems.

In an earlier post we discussed how to obtain the continuous-time Laplace and Fourier transforms of a sampled signal based on the Laplace and Fourier transforms of the original signal. We shall now explore other relationships between those transforms and the Z-transform of the sampled signal.
