Publisher's Synopsis
Understanding digital signal processors made easy through programming examples and project application
This text enables students of electrical and computer engineering to grasp and apply the principles of digital signal processing (DSP) through real–time implementation of experiments and projects. The author, internationally respected for his DSP courses, seminars, and textbooks, presents easy–to–follow theoretical discussion that is immediately followed by representative examples using Texas Instruments′ TMS320C6713–based DSP Starter Kit (DSK). Examples using the C6416 DSK are included in Appendix I. In total, one hundred and four programming examples are provided most using C code, but some using assembly code that demonstrate how the TMS320C6x processor is used in applications such as communications, controls, and speech processing. The final chapter of the text provides readers with twenty–two projects on which they can expand.
The tools needed to facilitate quick learning and enable readers to implement experiments and projects are included, such as:
- An accompanying CD–ROM that contains all the programs discussed in the book
- Extensive references that lead readers to more detailed discussion of specialized topics
- Programming examples that bring the theory of DSP alive through actual applications
- Assignments that test readers′ comprehension of each topic, enabling them to move on to more advanced topics
- Student projects that cover a wide range of applications including filtering, spectrum analysis, modulation techniques, and speech processing
- Appendices filled with valuable resources, including MATLAB® support tools and the TMS320C6x instruction set
Using a skillful combination of theory, examples, assignments, and projects, the author is able to make even such difficult topics as adaptive filtering accessible and understandable to undergraduate and graduate students alike. Moreover, practicing engineers will find this text to be a useful tutorial and reference.
