Book Description

ISBN-10: 053495409X | ISBN-13: 978-0534954093 | Publication Date: February 12, 1999 | Edition: 2

Ambardar's proven text teaches the basic principles and applications of signals, systems, transforms and filters, using both a visual and mathematical approach. This book helps readers develop a thorough understanding of time-domain and frequency-domain relationships, encouraging them to think clearly in both domains and switch easily from one to the other. Bound into each text is a disk with a set of powerful software routines running under MATLAB that can be used for reinforcing and visualizing concepts as well as for problem solving and advanced design. The extensively revised and reorganized Second Edition incorporates new practical applications and design-oriented examples in every chapter.

1.0 out of 5 stars Learn to walk before you run, January 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Analog and Digital Signal Processing/Book and Disk (Hardcover)

The author tries to write a book that is the be-all and end-all of SP books. By trying to cover both analog and discrete signals all at once, he succeeds only in confusing the reader. Even if he had only tried to cover one of the topics, I'm not sure he would have succeeded. Examples are few and far between - not to mention difficult to follow. Sometimes, he makes reference to equations that have been derived textually and are hidden somewhere in an obscure paragraph. This book could have been much better written. I didn't like it.

This review is from: Analog and Digital Signal Processing (Hardcover)

Not a bad book, but the reader should have basic DSP background before reading. I suppose that's why this is not an Introduction to Analog and Digital Signal Processing. Some sections of the book present the material in a "there it is" fashion, with out much explanation. Sometimes it could be hard to make a correlation between what the graphs are trying to show vs. the printed text. Otherwise, good for more advanced DSP applications.

2.0 out of 5 stars An average quality text, October 27, 1998

This review is from: Analog and Digital Signal Processing/Book and Disk (Hardcover)

I used this book in school, and recently (after several years out of school) tried to use it as a reference to re-learn DSP. What a nightmare; the author has chosen to use a format that I would describe more as an abstract than a book. As a text in a college course, this book was mediocre, as a reference it is poor. I eventually gave up and purchased Richard G. Lyons book Understanding Digital Signal Processing, which is an absolutely outstanding example of how a book ought to be written.
