Book Description

1856179214 978-1856179218 April 19, 2010 1

DSP is utilized in just about every electronic system or device. DSP is taking one piece of information be it data, image, video, or audio, most likely compressing, sending, and filtering it to another location within your application to appear in the form of a document, picture or video.

Like Smith before it, this book is different to most on the market by following a popular applied approach to this tricky subject, and will be the perfect starting point for engineers who need to get into DSP from the ground floor. This book starts with the absolute basics of this integral process.

No experience is expected and with no prior knowledge taken for granted, a refresher chapter on complex numbers and trigonometry can be found at the very beginning of the material. Real-world worked examples, reference designs, and tools - including online applets that enable readers to visualize key principles - complete a package that will help engineers who that needs to learn anew or refresh their memory on this essential technology as they move to projects that require DSP familiarity.

    • Dismayed when presented with a mass of equations as an explanation of DSP? This is the book for you!
    • Clear examples and a non-mathematical approach gets you up to speed with DSP
    • Includes an overview of the DSP functions and implementation used in typical DSP-intensive applications, including error correction, CDMA mobile communication, and radar systems

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Signal processing involves a lot more than any author can cover in 275 pages, so realize you will need some additional tutorial information available in online or printed references. Overall, though, this book provides a good starting point for people who need a quick introduction to DSP." - reviewed in Design News

4.0 out of 5 stars a good overview, June 8, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Digital Signal Processing 101: Everything you need to know to get started (Paperback)
I purchased this book to help get me to a level where I could implement understand FFT's at a fundamental level and also help me to figure out a methodology to measure Doppler shift. In both respects the book was a definite asset.

The author has made a conscientious effort to provide good examples of various issues. Unlike some math books I'm sure we've all experienced, he does not lead you down a logical path in a solution only to leave you with "...the rest should be obvious...".

However (here comes the other shoe), DSP is a VAST and complicated subject. There is no way 260 pages can cover the subject enough to bring a novice such as myself up to the level of understanding most of it. I have been downloading/reading everything I could find on FFT's on the web. I found this book good to fill in the gaps in my ignorance on FFT's. I tried to read some of the other chapters as well for background info. I found that you have to have some background info/experience to understand some of the chapters. Chapter 5, for instance, is titled "Finite Infinite Response Filters". My background is hardware in general and I have done a little work with standard op-amp active filters. I read through the chapter twice and still have little idea what it's saying. The author seems to assume the reader has heard of FIR's before.

All in all, I like the author's style. It's informal and seems to flow in a logical manner with a lot of well laid out examples as to what he's saying. I wish he (or someone) would write a book twice this size, and narrow the subject field somewhat. For me it was worth the money. If you want to get introduced to DSP this is a good place to start.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for Managers, December 13, 2010
This review is from: Digital Signal Processing 101: Everything you need to know to get started (Paperback)
This book is a great read for Managers of HW or SW design teams that are working on DSP designs. It provides an appreciation of DSP concepts, without getting bogged down in the mathematical details of DSP design.
The book covers the theory that most EE graduates have covered in College with the added benefit of detailing the relevance of the theory to different application spaces, ranging from Wireless communication to Radar to Video Processing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Overall a good book, December 22, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Digital Signal Processing 101: Everything you need to know to get started (Paperback)
This is really two books in one. The first section deals with basic DSP concepts; and the 2nd section deals with applications.

I think the author has only moderate success in explaining basic concepts. (I doubt that a true novice will understand basic DSP from reading this.) And he also omits importanat information such as convolution, which is really the key to understanding DSP. For understanding key concepts, I'd recommend Steven Smith's book instead.

However, the second half does a fine job of explaining TDMA, CDMA, OFDM and Radar applications.
