Synopsis

Digital signal processing continues to be of importance in fields as diverse as communications, radar, seismology, sonar, biomedicine, data analysis and aerospace. Some of the main problems of digital signal processing are identified in this book and interpreting the results of signal processing are detailed. Principles, applications and design methods are illustrated using a range of computer programs which have been translated into C for this edition. The accompanying disk provides a graphic display of the results of processing example signals and allows the reader to experiment with the programs.

About this title

From the Publisher

The remarkable increase in the speed and power of digital computers and special purpose hardware over recent years has ensured the continued growth of interest in digital signal processing (DSP). This second edition is being published in response to these changes. It includes new material on Random Digital Signals and Random DSP, as well as new and improved software that illustrates the techniques described in the book.

From the Back Cover

"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 over the last decade 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 packed 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 can be found on the books supplementary website. 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.
