Practical DSP Modeling, Techniques, and Programming in C

Gets you up and running with all the practical programming know-how you need to apply DSP to a specific project, immediately!

Most DSP texts are long on theory and short on practical programming solutions. Here, at last, is a book that fully bridges the gap between DSP theory and real-world applications. Whether you are a programmer or engineer working in telecommunications, entertainment, aerospace, or any of the multitude of scientific or commercial fields in which digital signal processing is coming to play an ever more vital role, this book provides you with all the basic information and practical nuts-and-bolts guidance you need to use this exciting technology without having to first school (or reschool) yourself in all the abstruse theoretical issues and high-level mathematics behind it.

A wide range of real-world examples from many areas of engineering and detailed illustrations of points covered

• In-depth explanations of state-of-the-art hardware, as well as detailed circuit and design information for the most popular filter types
• Instructions on how to build your own data acquisition board, DACQ, from scratch or from a kit
• All crucial DSP algorithms explained from "the ground up"
• Features a variety of projects and working applications that you can reproduce and run on your computer
