Question: what is the relation between z transform and dtft?
Answer: In other words, if you restrict the z-transoform to the unit circle in the complex plane, then you get the Fourier transform (DTFT). 2. One can also obtain the Z-Transform from the DTFT. So the z-transform is like a DTFT after multiplying the signal by the signal $ y[n]=r^{-n} $.
