Applied Introduction To Digital Signal Processing

Being an inter-disciplinary subject, Signal Processing has application in almost all scientific fields. Applied Signal Processing tries to link between the analog and digital signal processing domains. Since the digital signal processing techniques have evolved from its analog counterpart, this book begins by explaining the fundamental concepts in analog signal processing and then progresses towards the digital signal processing. This will help the reader to gain a general overview of the whole subject and establish links between the various fundamental concepts. While the focus of this book is on the fundamentals of signal processing, the understanding of these topics greatly enhances the confident use as well as further development of the design and analysis of digital systems for various engineering and medical applications. Applied Signal Processing also prepares readers to further their knowledge in advanced topics within the field of signal processing.

Master the basic concepts and methodologies of digital signal processing with this systematic introduction, without the need for an extensive mathematical background. The authors lead the reader through the fundamental mathematical principles underlying the operation of key signal processing techniques, providing simple arguments and cases rather than detailed general proofs. Coverage of practical implementation, discussion of the limitations of particular methods and plentiful MATLAB illustrations allow readers to better connect theory and practice. A focus on algorithms that are of theoretical importance or useful in real-world applications ensures that students cover material relevant to engineering practice, and equips students and practitioners alike with the basic principles necessary to apply DSP techniques to a variety of applications. Chapters include worked examples, problems and computer experiments, helping students to absorb the material they have just read. Lecture slides for all figures and solutions to the numerous problems are available to instructors.

An Introduction to Digital Signal Processing is written for those who need to understand and use digital signal processing and yet do not wish to wade through a multi-semester course sequence. Using only calculus-level mathematics, this book progresses rapidly through the fundamentals to advanced topics such as iterative least squares design of IIR filters, inverse filters, power spectral estimation, and multidimensional applications--all in one concise volume. This book emphasizes both the fundamental principles and their modern computer implementation. It presents and demonstrates how simple the actual computer code is for advanced modern algorithms used in DSP. Results of these programs, which the reader can readily duplicate and use on a PC, are presented in many actual computer drawn plots. Assumes no previous knowledge of signal processing but leads up to very advanced techniques combines exposition of fundamental principles with practical applications Includes problems with each chapter Presents in detail the appropriate computer algorithums for solving problems

This book explores the Digital System Processing revolution that has drastically changed the way electronic circuits are designed, and created new possibilities deemed impossible using conventional analog circuitry. While avoiding most complicated math and calculus, it explains the magic that makes the “necessities” of life work— such as CD players, cellular telephones, music synthesizers, and high-speed modems, just to name a few. Chapter topics include the digital processing environment, building the signals, processing binary numbers, processing signals, spectral analysis, and implementing DSP systems. For engineers, who understand the basics of passive circuits and have exposure to the programming of microprocessors, looking for a high-tech tool to face the technical challenges of today's designs.

Introduction to Digital Signal Processing covers the basic theory and practice of digital signal processing (DSP) at an introductory level. As with all volumes in the Essential Electronics Series, this book retains the unique formula of minimal mathematics and straightforward explanations. The author has included examples throughout of the standard software design package, MATLAB and screen dumps are used widely throughout to illustrate the text. Ideal for students on degree and diploma level courses in electric and electronic engineering, 'Introduction to Digital Signal Processing' contains numerous worked examples throughout as well as further problems with solutions to enable students to work both independently and in conjunction with their course. Assumes only minimum knowledge of mathematics and electronics Concise and written in a straightforward and accessible style Packed with worked examples, exercises and self-assesment questions

A practical and accessible guide to understanding digital signal processing Introduction to Digital Signal Processing and Filter Design was developed and fine-tuned from the author's twenty-five years of experience teaching classes in digital signal processing. Following a step-by-step approach, students and professionals quickly master the fundamental concepts and applications of discrete-time signals and systems as well as the synthesis of these systems to meet specifications in the time and frequency domains. Striking the right balance between mathematical derivations and theory, the book features: * Discrete-time signals and systems * Linear difference equations * Solutions by recursive algorithms * Convolution * Time and frequency domain analysis * Discrete Fourier series * Design of FIR and IIR filters * Practical methods for hardware implementation A unique feature of this book is a complete chapter on the use of a MATLAB(r) tool, known as the FDA (Filter Design and Analysis) tool, to investigate the effect of finite word length and different formats of quantization, different realization structures, and different methods for filter design. This chapter contains material of practical importance that is not found in many books used in academic courses. It introduces students in digital signal processing to what they need to know to design digital systems using DSP chips currently available from industry. With its unique, classroom-tested approach, Introduction to Digital Signal Processing and Filter Design is the ideal text for students in electrical and electronic engineering, computer science, and applied mathematics, and an accessible introduction or refresher for engineers and scientists in the field.

This textbook for a one semester introductory course in digital signal processing for senior undergraduate and first year graduate students in electrical and computer engineering departments is concise, highly readable, and yet provides comprehensive coverage of the topic. Each new topic is presented with examples and figures. The highly mathematical content of the topic is presented lucidly to make the learning the subject easier. Practical aspects of the subject are clearly indicated so that the student can apply the principles in real applications. Matlab programs for FIR filter design are provided as supplementary material online.

"An excellent introductory book" (Review of the First Edition in the International Journal of Electrical Engineering Education) " it will serve as a reference book in this area for a long time" (Review of Revised Edition in Zentralblatt für Mathematik (Germany)) Firmly established as the essential introductory Digital Signal Processing (DSP) text, this second edition reflects the growing importance of random digital signals and random DSP in the undergraduate syllabus by including two new chapters. The authors' practical, problem-solving approach to DSP continues in this new material, which is backed up by additional worked examples and computer programs. The book now features: * fundamentals of digital signals and systems * time and frequency domain analysis and processing, including digital convolution and the Discrete and Fast Fourier Transforms * design and practical application of digital filters * description and processing of random signals, including correlation, filtering, and the detection of signals in noise Programs in C and equivalent PASCAL are listed in an Appendix. Typical results and graphic plots from all the programs are illustrated and discussed in the main text. The overall approach assumes no prior knowledge of electronics, computing, or DSP. An ideal text for undergraduate students in electrical, electronic and other branches of engineering, computer science, applied mathematics and physics. Practising engineers and scientists will also find this a highly accessible introduction to an increasingly important field.
