Digital Signal Processing with Field Programmable Gate Arrays (With CD-ROM) [Hardcover]

Book Description

ISBN-10: 3540413413 | ISBN-13: 978-3540413417 | Publication Date: September 15, 2001 | Edition: 1

Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are on the verge of revolutionizing digital signal processing. Novel FPGA families are replacing ASICs and PDSPs for front end digital signal processing algorithms more and more. The efficient implementation of these algorithms is the main goal of this book. It starts with an overview of today's FPGA technology, devices, and tools for designing state-of-the-art DSP systems. A case study in the first chapter is the basis for more than 30 design examples. The following chapters deal with computer arithmetic concepts, theory and the implementation of FIR and IIR filters, multirate digital signal processing systems, DFT and FFT algorithms, and advanced algorithms with high future potential. Each chapter contains exercises. The VERILOG source code and a glossary are given in the appendices. The accompanying CD-ROM contains the examples in VHDL and Verilog code as well as the newest Altera "Baseline" software.

"5 Stars: this book is well written and covers many of the aspects of DSP with FPGAs. I run a business that specializes exclusively in high performance DSP designs using FPGAs. This book pretty much covers it all, in fact it closely parallels the material we present in our DSP for FPGAs seminar. I very highly recommend this book."

This review is from: Digital Signal Processing with Field Programmable Gate Arrays (With CD-ROM) (Hardcover)

This book is well written and covers many of the aspects of DSP with FPGAs. I run a business that specializes exclusively in high performance DSP designs using FPGAs. This book pretty much covers it all, in fact it closely parallels the material we present in our DSP for FPGAs seminar. I very highly recommend this book.

The following are the contents of the book, which are not otherwise listed on Amazon:
1. Intro, which goes over FPGA architectures, 25 pages

2. Computer arithmetic. Covers computer arithmetic from the slant of hardware. Includes distributed arithmetic and cordic discussion, 46 pages,

3. FIR filters 34 pages

4. IIR filters 24 pages

5. Multirate signal processing -- decimation &interpolation, polyphase decompositin, CIC filters, Multistage decimators, Frequency sampling, filterbanks, wavelets. 59 pages

6. Fourier Transforms -- 42 pages

7. Advanced topics -- Rectangular and number theoretic transforms, error control and cryptography, modulation & demodulation --76 pages

8 . references and source code 76 pages

5.0 out of 5 stars DSP with FPGAs, October 24, 2002

This review is from: Digital Signal Processing with Field Programmable Gate Arrays (With CD-ROM) (Hardcover)

"Digital Signal Processing with Field Programmable Gate Arrays" covers most of the popular DSP applications in good detail.
Before you buy this book I would highly recommend reading "Understanding DSP" by Rick Lyons.

Once you understand the fundamentals of DSP this book will help you decide on the best implementation
of each algorithm using a step by step approach. The author also weighs up the pros and cons of each algorithm.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for DSP Implementations, April 25, 2003

This review is from: Digital Signal Processing with Field Programmable Gate Arrays (With CD-ROM) (Hardcover)

In this book Dr Meyer-Baese brings in his industrial/proffessional experience from the field of DSP using FPGAS. Lots of other FPGA/Hardware books just talk about the theoretical/concetual/abstract level DSP. Here the main focus is the practical implementation of the different DSP Components
everything from Multipliers to the Discrete Wavelet Trasform.
Each of these components are seperately discussed chapter-wise and is supplemented by applications and also source code in both VHDL and Verilog (mostly in the accompanying CD)
If you just want to know what an FFT is then this book is NOT for you,but if you want to implement this in hardware then this is THE book.
