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.
