Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

A Complete, One-Stop Guide To Modern Digital Signal Processing Techniques - With Hands-On Companion Software! A comprehensive, yet highly accessible reference for professional engineers, this book capitalizes on computer-based instruction to help you master all the basics and complexities of digital signal processing. Featuring an incisive combination of theory, analysis, design, and technology, Hands-On Digital Signal Processing encompasses the most vital signal processing issues: mathematical and frequency domain representation of discrete-time signals; time- and tranform domain representation of discrete-time systems; finite and infinite impulse response digital filters and their implementations; multirate and wavelet signal processing; coverage of advanced topics like IIR architecture, finite wordlengths, overflow prevention, noise gain, multirate signal processing, and more. Each chapter provides useful self-study problems to test your understanding, while the companion disc turns your PC into a virtual instrument by providing sampling, linear systems, spectral analysis, communications, and multimedia examples. Plus, application software tools and integrated chapter-by-chapter exercises are included to further reinforce comprehension. The end result is an essential, one-of-a-kind resource that puts signal processing expertise well within your reach.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lots of Errors, January 8, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Hands-On Digital Signal Processing (Hardcover)
This book is riddled with errors - the errata (available on the Athena Group's website) is twenty pages long! Some of the errors are just grammatical, but many are mathematical. It is very difficult to learn when an important equation is incorrect. In light of the many other DSP texts (which don't have all the mistakes that this one has) at all levels that are available, there is no reason to buy this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless piece of trash., February 2, 2007
By 
MikeM "MikeM" (Newport News, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hands-On Digital Signal Processing (Hardcover)
This book is very hard to follow. You really cannot use it to learn or research any topics in DSP. It is very hard to follow, and it is full of errors. Try using another book. I will throw this book and the CD tonight. I can't believe I bought this book.
