Signal Processing

Separate signals from noise with this valuable introduction to signal processing by applied decomposition

The decomposition of complex signals into the sub-signals, or individual components, is a crucial tool in signal processing. It allows each component of a signal to be analyzed individually, enables the signal to be isolated from noise, and processed in full. Decomposition processes have not always been widely adopted due to the difficult underlying mathematics and complex applications. This text simplifies these obstacles.

Signal Processing: An Applied Decomposition Approach demystifies these tools from a model-based perspective. This offers a mathematically informed, “step-by-step” analysis of the process by breaking down a composite signal/system into its constituent parts, while introducing both fundamental concepts and advanced applications. This comprehensive approach addresses each of the major decomposition techniques, making it an indispensable addition to any library specializing in signal processing.

Signal Processing readers will find:

• Signal decomposition techniques developed from the data-based, spectral-based and model-based perspectives incorporate: statistical approaches (PCA, ICA, Singular Spectrum); spectral approaches (MTM, PHD, MUSIC); and model-based approaches (EXP, LATTICE, SSP)
• In depth discussion of topics includes signal/system estimation and decomposition, time domain and frequency domain techniques, systems theory, modal decompositions, applications and many more
• Numerous figures, examples, and tables illustrating key concepts and algorithms are developed throughout the text
• Includes problem sets, case studies, real-world applications as well as MATLAB notes highlighting applicable commands

Signal Processing is ideal for engineering and scientific professionals, as well as graduate students seeking a focused text on signal/system decomposition with performance metrics and real-world applications.
