Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This supplement to any standard DSP text is one of the first books to successfully integrate the use of MATLAB® in the study of DSP concepts. In this book, MATLAB® is used as a computing tool to explore traditional DSP topics, and solve problems to gain insight. This greatly expands the range and complexity of problems that students can effectively study in the course. Since DSP applications are primarily algorithms implemented on a DSP processor or software, a fair amount of programming is required. Using interactive software such as MATLAB® makes it possible to place more emphasis on learning new and difficult concepts than on programming algorithms. Interesting practical examples are discussed and useful problems are explored. This updated second edition includes new homework problems and revises the scripts in the book, available functions, and m-files to MATLAB® V7.

About the Author
Vinay K. Ingle is an Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Northeastern University. He received his Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1981. He has broad research experience and has taught courses on topics including signal and image processing, stochastic processes, and estimation theory. Professor Ingle is coauthor of the books: DSP Laboratory Using the ADSP-2181 Microprocessor (Prentice-Hall, 1991), Discrete Systems Laboratory (Brooks-Cole, 2000), and Statistical and Adaptive Signal proc-essing (Artech House, 2005).

Dr. John G. Proakis is currently a Research Professor at Northeastern University. As a faculty member, he held positions as Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering (1969-1976), Professor of Electrical Engineering (1976-1998), Associate Dean of the College of Engineering and Director of the Graduate School of Engineering (1982-1984), and Chairman of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (1984-1997). Prior to 1969, he served on the staff of GTE Laboratories and the MIT Lincoln Laboratory. Dr. Proakis received the BSEE Degree from the University of Cincinnati, the MSEE Degree from MIT, and the Ph.D. in Engineering from Harvard University. His professional experience and interests are in the general areas of digital communications and digital signal processing and more specifically, in adaptive filtering, adaptive communication systems and adaptive equalization techniques, communication through fading multipath channels, radar detection, signal parameter estimation, communication systems modeling and simulation, optimization techniques, and statistical analysis. His academic duties include research in the areas of digital communications and digital signal processing and teaching of undergraduate and graduate courses in communications, circuit analysis, control systems, probability, stochastic processes, discrete systems, and digital signal processing. Dr. Proakis is the author or co-author of books in Digital Communications, Digital Signal Processing, Digital Signal Processing Laboratory, Advanced Digital Signal Processing, Digital Processing of Speech Signals, and Communication Systems Engineering.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent one, March 16, 2000

By	Justo S. - See all my reviews

This review is from: Digital Signal Processing Using MATLAB (Bookware Companion Series) (Paperback)

I started studying (seriously) both digital signal processing and MATLAB with this book. Its explanations as well as its examples were an incredible help for me.

Even now, after reading higher-level books, I have this one near my desk for reference. I just like it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect but aging companion to Discrete Time Signal Processing, February 4, 2006

By	calvinnme "Texan refugee" (Fredericksburg, Va) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Digital Signal Processing Using MATLAB (Bookware Companion Series) (Paperback)

This book does exactly what it purports to do - it teaches the reader how to perform signal processing tasks using Matlab. It starts out with signals and systems and moves on to the DTFT, the Z Transform, the DFT, digital filter structures including both IIR and FIR design, and finally covers some advanced topics in adaptive signal processing and communications. It even contains full-blown projects using Matlab on adaptive channel equalization, binary spread spectrum communications, and system identification. The reader should use another text such as Oppenheim's "Discrete Time Signal Processing" to get the theory, and come to this book on how to implement that theory in Matlab. The one drawback is that the book is older, so it is using Matlab 5. Also, another reviewer mentioned that much of the book is inaccessible to users who do not have the rather expensive signal processing toolkit at their disposal. Fortunately, thanks to the open source movement, this last problem has been solved. Octave, now on SourceForge, an open source code repository, has many of the matlab functions available for free that you need to do signal processing.
In conclusion, I highly recommend this book to signal processing students and professionals who wish to incorporate Matlab into their work.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for MATLAB, but for DSP get Lyons' book., October 10, 2001

By	S.P. (Maryland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Digital Signal Processing Using MATLAB (Bookware Companion Series) (Paperback)

Ingle and Proakis' book isn't a bad deal if you have to learn MATLAB and DSP at the same time. There are plenty of MATLAB examples, however, I was disappoined in all the discrepancies between the code listed in the book and the code downloaded from the publisher (Brooks/Cole). Also, as a DSP beginner, I wish I & P had included more diagrams. For newcomers to DSP, Richard Lyons' "Understanding Digital Signal Procssing" is still the best book available (in my opinion).
