Z-Transform and the Fourier Transform ===================================== Remember the Discrete Time Fourier Transform (DTFT): .. math:: \underline{X}(\Omega) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} x[n] e^{-j\Omega n} Comparing the above with the definition of the Z-transform we see that: .. math:: X(e^{j\Omega}) = \underline{X}(\Omega) i.e. the Fourier transform can be found along the unit circle in the complex domain of the Z-transform.
