Digital Filtering: A Computer Laboratory Textbook

Useful as a complement to a digital signal processing (DSP) text, as the text for an introductory laboratory course in DSP or as a self-paced introduction to DSP basics. Provides exposure to DSP in a computer environment. Includes a summary of the concepts basic to signal processing, nine projects and more than ten exercises to reinforce these concepts plus a library of DSP computer functions that run on personal computers using the MS-DOS operating system.

Hands-On Exposure to Digital Filter Design in a Computer Environment This hands-on guide provides the DSP newcomer with the experience of working with complex design formulas and design algorithms without having to write and debug large programs. It focuses on the practical application of the fundamental DSP concepts of digital filters, digital filter design, and filter implementation. Each chapter begins with a brief summary of the basics, followed by a set of illustrative exercises that provide a mix of theoretical, experimental, and design problems. The final chapter is a collection of projects that use the concepts and techniques discussed throughout the text to solve specific problems. Included with this book is a disk with stand-alone programs that perform elementary signal processing functions. The software is easy to use with an on-line help function that explains the usage of all DSP functions. This allows the reader to concentrate on DSP principles instead of details related to software usage. This book is a title in The Georgia Tech Digital Signal Processing Laboratory Series.
