Publisher's Synopsis
Digital Signal Processing (DSP), as the term suggests, is the processing of signals using digital computers. These signals might be anything transferred from an analog domain to a digital form (e.g., temperature and pressure sensors, voices over a telephone, images from a camera, or data transmittal though computers). As a result, understanding the whole spectrum of DSP technology can be a daunting task for electrical engineering professionals and students alike. Digital Signal Processing Fundamentals provides a comprehensive look at DSP by introducing the important mathematical processes and then providing several application-specific tutorials for practicing the techniques learned. Beginning with general theory, including Fourier Analysis, the mathematics of complex numbers, Fourier transforms, differential equations, analog and digital filters, and much more; the book then delves into Matlab and Scilab tutorials with examples on solving practical engineering problems, followed by software applications on image processing and audio processing-- complete with all the algorithms and source code. This is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand how DSP works.
