Digital Signal Processing

We now turn to the packages in the context 50. Their important features are the <#1159#>rule bases<#1159#> for evaluation of forward and inverse z-transforms, and forward and inverse discrete-time Fourier transforms. Application of these rule bases is triggered by calls to the evaluation functions 51, 52, 53 and 54. Such calls are automatically performed when 55 is applied:~ thus, <#224#>TheFunction[ Z[n, z] [ Exp[- n] Step[n] ] ]<#224#> evaluates to <#225#>ZTransform[ Exp[- n] Step[n], n, z ]<#225#>, which is then further evaluated to an explicit form.
