Here is a valuable book for a first undergraduate course in discrete systems and digital signal processing (DSP) and for in-practice engineers seeking a self-study text on the subject. Readers will find the book easy to read, with topics flowing and connecting naturally. Fundamentals and first principles central to most DSP applications are presented through carefully developed, worked out examples and problems. Unlike more theoretically demanding texts, this book does not require a prerequisite course in linear systems theory. The text focuses on problem-solving and developing interrelationships and connections between topics. This emphasis is carried out in a number of innovative features, including organized procedures for filter design and use of computer-based problem-solving methods. Solutions Manual is available only through your Addison-Wesley Sales Specialist.

A valuable introduction to the fundamentals of continuous and discrete time signal processing, this book is intended for the reader with little or no background in this subject. The emphasis is on development from basic principles. With this book the reader can become knowledgeable about both the theoretical and practical aspects of digital signal processing.Some special features of this book are: (1) gradual and step-by-step development of the mathematics for signal processing, (2) numerous examples and homework problems, (3) evolutionary development of Fourier series, Discrete Fourier Transform, Fourier Transform, Laplace Transform, and Z-Transform, (4) emphasis on the relationship between continuous and discrete time signal processing, (5) many examples of using the computer for applying the theory, (6) computer based assignments to gain practical insight, (7) a set of computer programs to aid the reader in applying the theory.

Digital signal processing (DSP) has been applied to a very wide range of applications. This includes voice processing, image processing, digital communications, the transfer of data over the internet, image and data compression, etc. Engineers who develop DSP applications today, and in the future, will need to address many implementation issues including mapping algorithms to computational structures, computational efficiency, power dissipation, the effects of finite precision arithmetic, throughput and hardware implementation. It is not practical to cover all of these in a single text. However, this text emphasizes the practical implementation of DSP algorithms as well as the fundamental theories and analytical procedures that form the basis for modern DSP applications. Digital Signal Processing: Principles, Algorithms and System Design provides an introduction to the principals of digital signal processing along with a balanced analytical and practical treatment of algorithms and applications for digital signal processing. It is intended to serve as a suitable text for a one semester junior or senior level undergraduate course. It is also intended for use in a following one semester first-year graduate level course in digital signal processing. It may also be used as a reference by professionals involved in the design of embedded computer systems, application specific integrated circuits or special purpose computer systems for digital signal processing, multimedia, communications, or image processing. - Covers fundamental theories and analytical procedures that form the basis of modern DSP - Shows practical implementation of DSP in software and hardware - Includes Matlab for design and implementation of signal processing algorithms and related discrete time systems - Bridges the gap between reference texts and the knowledge needed to implement DSP applications in software or hardware

Books on linear systems typically cover both discrete and continuous systems together in one book. However, with coverage of this magnitude, not enough information is presented on either of the two subjects. Discrete linear systems warrant a book of their own, and Discrete Systems and Digital Signal Processing with MATLAB provides just that. It offers comprehensive coverage of both discrete linear systems and signal processing in one volume. This detailed book is firmly rooted in basic mathematical principles, and it includes many problems solved first by using analytical tools, then by using MATLAB. Examples that illustrate the theoretical concepts are provided at the end of each chapter.

This book is the perfect source for those interested in learning the basic principles of digital signal processing. Features an exceptionally accessible writing style and emphasizes the theoretical aspects of digital signal processing. Explains how the coefficients of the discrete time system equation are selected in order to implement the desired "digital filter." Includes overview of the continuous time system theory-including coverage convolution, system impulse response, and the Fourier Transform. Illustrates the power of DSP by inclusion of a chapter on adaptive FIR filters using the LMS algorithm. Discusses oversampling, downsampling, upsampling, and introduces the theory of random signals and their associated power spectral density functions. For anyone wanting an easily-accessible, theoretical introduction to digital signal processing.

Master the basic concepts and methodologies of digital signal processing with this systematic introduction, without the need for an extensive mathematical background. The authors lead the reader through the fundamental mathematical principles underlying the operation of key signal processing techniques, providing simple arguments and cases rather than detailed general proofs. Coverage of practical implementation, discussion of the limitations of particular methods and plentiful MATLAB illustrations allow readers to better connect theory and practice. A focus on algorithms that are of theoretical importance or useful in real-world applications ensures that students cover material relevant to engineering practice, and equips students and practitioners alike with the basic principles necessary to apply DSP techniques to a variety of applications. Chapters include worked examples, problems and computer experiments, helping students to absorb the material they have just read. Lecture slides for all figures and solutions to the numerous problems are available to instructors.

This volume presents the fundamentals of data signal processing, ranging from data conversion to z-transforms and spectral analysis. In addition to presenting basic theory and describing the devices, the material is complemented by real examples in specific case studies.
