Digital Signal Processing with Examples in MATLAB®, Second Edition (Electrical Engineering & Applied Signal Processing Series) [Hardcover]

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0849310911 | ISBN-13: 978-0849310911 | Publication Date: August 28, 2002 | Edition: 1

In a field as rapidly expanding as digital signal processing, even the topics relevant to the basics change over time both in their nature and their relative importance. It is important, therefore, to have an up-to-date text that not only covers the fundamentals, but that also follows a logical development that leaves no gaps readers must somehow bridge by themselves.

Digital Signal Processing with Examples in MATLAB® is just such a text. The presentation does not focus on DSP in isolation, but relates it to continuous signal processing and treats digital signals as samples of physical phenomena. The author also takes care to introduce important topics not usually addressed in signal processing texts, including the discrete cosine and wavelet transforms, multirate signal processing, signal coding and compression, least squares systems design, and adaptive signal processing. He also uses the industry-standard software MATLAB to provide examples of signal processing, system design, spectral analysis, filtering, coding and compression, and exercise solutions. All of the examples and functions used in the text are available online at www.crcpress.com.

Designed for a one-semester upper-level course but also ideal for self-study and reference, Digital Signal Processing with Examples in MATLAB is complete, self-contained, and rigorous. For basic DSP, it is quite simply the only book you need.

Review

In a field as rapidly expanding as digital signal processing (DSP), even the basic topics change over time, both in nature and relative importance. It is important, therefore, to have an up-to-date text that not only covers the fundamentals but also follows a logical development that leaves no gaps that readers must somehow bridge by themselves. Digital Signal Processing with Examples in MATLAB is such a text.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Practical DSP Book loaded with Matlab examples, February 9, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Digital Signal Processing with Examples in MATLAB®, Second Edition (Electrical Engineering & Applied Signal Processing Series) (Hardcover)

I used this book for a first course on DSP. This book is very practical. It is loaded with Matlab algorithms that will make your discrete signal processing simulation development enjoyable and challenging.
The Matlab examples cover just about every thing encountered in DSP development. It covers statistical signal analysis, adaptive filter design, FIR, IIR and other important topics.

Readers of this book should download the entire code examples used in this book off the website assigned to this book.

This review is from: Digital Signal Processing with Examples in MATLAB®, Second Edition (Electrical Engineering & Applied Signal Processing Series) (Hardcover)

I bought this text as a self-study aid, primarily because the book is advertised as including the solutions to the problems at the end of each chapter. I was very disappointed to find that the answers are provided, but the zip files for the solutions are password protected and made available to only universities. What a shamocary. Other than that, the book has proved to be very light in the discussion section and heavy in the problem sets - so the solutions are very much needed to derive any good use from the material.

This review is from: Digital Signal Processing with Examples in MATLAB®, Second Edition (Electrical Engineering & Applied Signal Processing Series) (Hardcover)

This is a nice text in Digital Signal Processing. It is ideal for Junior or Senior level undergraduates who have not been previously exposed to the subject. The combination of mathematical theory with Matlab examples allows students to gain confidence in their work and quickly visualize results.
