Applied Introduction to Digital Signal Processing

For undergraduate courses in Digital Signal Processing, and for two/three-year programs in electronics or computer engineering technology.

This text introduces Digital Signal Processing and its fundamentals so that students can design and implement synthesis, analysis, filtering and modulation of signals in DSP applications. An intuitive and familiar approach using vector arithmetic—the mathematics behind DSP—gives students the necessary literacy to apply this technology to the design of practical circuits. The book also provides the background and nomenclature needed to attend seminars and pursue further studies.
