Introductory Digital Signal Processing With Computer Applications

"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.

Digital signal processing has progressed rapidly from a specialist research topic to one with practical applications in many disciplines, including branches of engineering and science which involve data acquisition, such as meterology, physics and information systems. This book aims to provide students with an introductory, one-term course in the subject, using a considerable number of computer programmes to illustrate the text. A number of worked examples have been included in order to illustrate and develop important ideas and design techniques. Problems designed to test and consolidate work already undertaken are supplied at the end of each chapter, and selected answers are given at the end of the book.

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 techniquescombines exposition of fundamental principles with practical applications Includes problems with each chapter Presents in detail the appropriate computer algorithums for solving problems

Utilizing classroom tested projects and exercises, this supplemental text and disk exposes advanced undergraduate and graduate students to digital signal processing (DSP) in a computer environment. These exercises and projects offer practical applications to real-world problems with easy modification to provide students with variety and fresh testing from year to year. The software is easy to use with an on-line help function which explains the usage of all DSP functions.

A significant revision of a best-selling text for the introductory digital signal processing course. This book presents the fundamentals of discrete-time signals, systems, and modern digital processing and applications for students in electrical engineering, computer engineering, and computer science.The book is suitable for either a one-semester or a two-semester undergraduate level course in discrete systems and digital signal processing. It is also intended for use in a one-semester first-year graduate-level course in digital signal processing.

This new book by Ken Steigliz offers an informal and easy-to-understand introduction to digital signal processing, emphasizing digital audio and applications to computer music. A DSP Primer covers important topics such as phasors and tuning forks; the wave equation; sampling and quantizing; feedforward and feedback filters; comb and string filters; periodic sounds; transform methods; and filter design. Steiglitz uses an intuitive and qualitative approach to develop the mathematics critical to understanding DSP. A DSP Primer is written for a broad audience including: Students of DSP in Engineering and Computer Science courses. Composers of computer music and those who work with digital sound. WWW and Internet developers who work with multimedia. General readers interested in science that want an introduction to DSP. Features: Offers a simple and uncluttered step-by-step approach to DSP for first-time users, especially beginners in computer music. 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.

This textbook provides engineering students with instruction on processing signals encountered in speech, music, and wireless communications using software or hardware by employing basic mathematical methods. The book starts with an overview of signal processing, introducing readers to the field. It goes on to give instruction in converting continuous time signals into digital signals and discusses various methods to process the digital signals, such as filtering. The author uses MATLAB throughout as a user-friendly software tool to perform various digital signal processing algorithms and to simulate real-time systems. Readers learn how to convert analog signals into digital signals; how to process these signals using software or hardware; and how to write algorithms to perform useful operations on the acquired signals such as filtering, detecting digitally modulated signals, correcting channel distortions, etc. Students are also shown how to convert MATLAB codes into firmware codes. Further, students will be able to apply the basic digital signal processing techniques in their workplace. The book is based on the author's popular online course at University of California, San Diego.
