Practical Digital Signal Processing

* Covers the use of DSP in different engineering sectors, from communications to process control * Ideal for a wide audience wanting to take advantage of the strong movement towards digital signal processing techniques in the engineering world * Includes numerous practical exercises and diagrams covering many of the fundamental aspects of digital signal processing There are a great number of DSP (digital signal processing) books on the market but few books that cover the practical skills and know-how needed by engineers working with DSP-based systems. With the tremendous variety of affordable software and hardware packages on the market today (unlike ten years ago) engineers can easily apply DSP technology to their applications. The aim of this book is to introduce the general area of Digital Signal Processing from a practical point of view with a working minimum of mathematics. The emphasis is placed on the practical applications of DSP: implementation issues, tricks and pitfalls. Intuitive explanations and appropriate examples are used to develop a fundamental understanding of DSP theory, laying a firm foundation for the reader to pursue the matter further. The reader will develop a clear understanding of DSP technology in a variety of fields from process control to communications.Lai, Edmund is the author of 'Practical Digital Signal Processing' with ISBN 9780750657983 and ISBN 0750657987.
