Designed to provide a working knowledge and understanding of frequency domain methods, including FFT and digital filtering. Contains thought-provoking questions and suggested experiments that help the reader to understand and apply DSP theory and techniques.

Informal, easy-to-understand introduction covers phasors and tuning forks, wave equation, sampling and quantizing, feedforward and feedback filters, comb and string filters, periodic sounds, transform methods, and filter design. 1996 edition.

Digital Signal Processing:A Primer with MATLAB® provides excellent coverage of discrete-time signals and systems. At the beginning of each chapter, an abstract states the chapter objectives. All principles are also presented in a lucid, logical, step-by-step approach. As much as possible, the authors avoid wordiness and detail overload that could hide concepts and impede understanding. In recognition of requirements by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) on integrating computer tools, the use of MATLAB® is encouraged in a student-friendly manner. MATLAB is introduced in Appendix C and applied gradually throughout the book. Each illustrative example is immediately followed by practice problems along with its answer. Students can follow the example step-by-step to solve the practice problems without flipping pages or looking at the end of the book for answers. These practice problems test students' comprehension and reinforce key concepts before moving onto the next section. Toward the end of each chapter, the authors discuss some application aspects of the concepts covered in the chapter. The material covered in the chapter is applied to at least one or two practical problems. It helps students see how the concepts are used in real-life situations. Also, thoroughly worked examples are given liberally at the end of every section. These examples give students a solid grasp of the solutions as well as the confidence to solve similar problems themselves. Some of hte problems are solved in two or three ways to facilitate a deeper understanding and comparison of different approaches. Designed for a three-hour semester course, Digital Signal Processing:A Primer with MATLAB® is intended as a textbook for a senior-level undergraduate student in electrical and computer engineering. The prerequisites for a course based on this book are knowledge of standard mathematics, including calculus and complex numbers.

Engineers in all fields will appreciate a practical guide that combines several new effective MATLAB® problem-solving approaches and the very latest in discrete random signal processing and filtering. Numerous Useful Examples, Problems, and Solutions – An Extensive and Powerful Review Written for practicing engineers seeking to strengthen their practical grasp of random signal processing, Discrete Random Signal Processing and Filtering Primer with MATLAB provides the opportunity to doubly enhance their skills. The author, a leading expert in the field of electrical and computer engineering, offers a solid review of recent developments in discrete signal processing. The book also details the latest progress in the revolutionary MATLAB language. A Practical Self-Tutorial That Transcends Theory The author introduces an incremental discussion of signal processing and filtering, and presents several new methods that can be used for a more dynamic analysis of random digital signals with both linear and non-linear filtering. Ideal as a self-tutorial, this book includes numerous examples and functions, which can be used to select parameters, perform simulations, and analyze results. This concise guide encourages readers to use MATLAB functions – and those new ones introduced as Book MATLAB Functions – to substitute many different combinations of parameters, giving them a firm grasp of how much each parameter affects results. Much more than a simple review of theory, this book emphasizes problem solving and result analysis, enabling readers to take a hands-on approach to advance their own understanding of MATLAB and the way it is used within signal processing and filtering.

Digital Signal Processing (DSP) has applications in many areas of electrical engineering from telecommunications to computer hardware. This text and CD-ROM provide nearly 200 mathematical methods, processing algorithms and design procedures in a step-by-step format.

Although Digital Signal Processing (DSP) has long been considered an electrical engineering topic, recent developments have also generated significant interest from the computer science community. DSP applications in the consumer market, such as bioinformatics, the MP3 audio format, and MPEG-based cable/satellite television have fueled a desire to understand this technology outside of hardware circles. Designed for upper division engineering and computer science students as well as practicing engineers and scientists, Digital Signal Processing Using MATLAB & Wavelets, Second Edition emphasizes the practical applications of signal processing. Over 100 MATLAB examples and wavelet techniques provide the latest applications of DSP, including image processing, games, filters, transforms, networking, parallel processing, and sound. This Second Edition also provides the mathematical processes and techniques needed to ensure an understanding of DSP theory. Designed to be incremental in difficulty, the book will benefit readers who are unfamiliar with complex mathematical topics or those limited in programming experience. Beginning with an introduction to MATLAB programming, it moves through filters, sinusoids, sampling, the Fourier transform, the z-transform and other key topics. Two chapters are dedicated to the discussion of wavelets and their applications. A CD-ROM (platform independent) accompanies the book and contains source code, projects for each chapter, and the figures from the book.

Bring the power and flexibility of C++ to all your DSP applications The multimedia revolution has created hundreds of new uses for Digital Signal Processing, but most software guides have continued to focus on outdated languages such as FORTRAN and Pascal for managing new applications. Now C++ Algorithms for Digital Signal Processing applies object-oriented techniques to this growing field with software you can implement on your desktop PC. C++ Algorithms for Digital Signal Processing's programming methods can be used for applications as diverse as: Digital audio and video Speech and image processing Digital communications Radar, sonar, and ultrasound signal processing Complete coverage is provided, including: Overviews of DSP and C++ Hands-on study with dozens of exercises Extensive library of customizable source code Import and Export of Microsoft WAV and Matlab data files Multimedia professionals, managers, and even advanced hobbyists will appreciate C++ Algorithms for Digital Signal Processing as much as students, engineers, and programmers. It's the ideal bridge between programming and signal processing, and a valuable reference for experts in either field.
