Synopsis
This book is Volume III of the series DSP for MATLAB™ and LabVIEW™. Volume III covers digital filter design, including the specific topics of FIR design via windowed-ideal-lowpass filter, FIR highpass, bandpass, and bandstop filter design from windowed-ideal lowpass filters, FIR design using the transition-band-optimized Frequency Sampling technique (implemented by Inverse-DFT or Cosine/Sine Summation Formulas), design of equiripple FIRs of all standard types including Hilbert Transformers and Differentiators via the Remez Exchange Algorithm, design of Butterworth, Chebyshev (Types I and II), and Elliptic analog prototype lowpass filters, conversion of analog lowpass prototype filters to highpass, bandpass, and bandstop filters, and conversion of analog filters to digital filters using the Impulse Invariance and Bilinear Transform techniques. Certain filter topologies specific to FIRs are also discussed, as are two simple FIR types, the Comb and Moving Average filters. The entire series consists of four volumes that collectively cover basic digital signal processing in a practical and accessible manner, but which nonetheless include all essential foundation mathematics. As the series title implies, the scripts (of which there are more than 200) described in the text and supplied in code form here will run on both MATLAB™ and LabVIEW™. The text for all volumes contains many examples, and many useful computational scripts, augmented by demonstration scripts and LabVIEW™ Virtual Instruments (VIs) that can be run to illustrate various signal processing concepts graphically on the user's computer screen. Volume I consists of four chapters that collectively set forth a brief overview of the field of digital signal processing, useful signals and concepts (including convolution, recursion, difference equations, LTI systems, etc), conversion from the continuous to discrete domain and back (i.e., analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion), aliasing, the Nyquist rate, normalized frequency, sample rate conversion and Mu-law compression, and signal processing principles including correlation, the correlation sequence, the Real DFT, correlation by convolution, matched filtering, simple FIR filters, and simple IIR filters. Chapter four of Volume I, in particular, provides an intuitive or ""first principle"" understanding of how digital filtering and frequency transforms work. Volume II provides detailed coverage of discrete frequency transforms, including a brief overview of common frequency transforms, both discrete and continuous, followed by detailed treatments of the Discrete Time Fourier Transform (DTFT), the z-Transform (including definition and properties, the inverse z-transform, frequency response via z-transform, and alternate filter realization topologies including Direct Form, Direct Form Transposed, Cascade Form, Parallel Form, and Lattice Form), and the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) (including Discrete Fourier Series, the DFT-IDFT pair, DFT of common signals, bin width, sampling duration, and sample rate, the FFT, the Goertzel Algorithm, Linear, Periodic, and Circular convolution, DFT Leakage, and computation of the Inverse DFT). Volume IV, the culmination of the series, is an introductory treatment of LMS Adaptive Filtering and applications, and covers cost functions, performance surfaces, coefficient perturbation to estimate the gradient, the LMS algorithm, response of the LMS algorithm to narrow-band signals, and various topologies such as ANC (Active Noise Cancelling) or system modeling, Periodic Signal Removal/Prediction/Adaptive Line Enhancement (ALE), Interference Cancellation, Echo Cancellation (with single- and dual-H topologies), and Inverse Filtering/Deconvolution/Equalization.

About the Author
Forester W. Isen received the B.S. degree from the U. S. Naval Academy in 1971 (majoring in mathematics with additional studies in physics and engineering), and the M. Eng. (EE) degree from the University of Louisville in 1978, and spent a career dealing with intellectual property matters at a government agency working in, and then supervising, the examination and consideration of both technical and legal matters pertaining to the granting of patent rights in the areas of electronic music, horology, and audio and telephony systems (AM and FM stereo, hearing aids, transducer structures, Active Noise Cancellation, PA Systems, Equalizers, Echo Cancellers, etc.). Since retiring from government service at the end of 2004, he worked during 2005 as a consultant in database development, and then subsequently spent several years writing the four-volume series DSP for MATLAB and LabVIEW, calling on his many years of practical experience to create a book on DSP fundamentals that includes not onlytraditional mathematics and exercises, but "first principle" views and explanations that promote the reader's understanding of the material from an intuitive and practical point of view, as well as a large number of accompanying scripts (to be run on MATLAB or LabVIEW) designed to bring to life the many signal processing concepts discussed in the series.
