Digital signal processing lies at the heart of the communications revolution and is an essential element of key technologies such as mobile phones and the Internet. This book covers all the major topics in digital signal processing (DSP) design and analysis, supported by MatLab examples and other modelling techniques. The authors explain clearly and concisely why and how to use digital signal processing systems; how to approximate a desired transfer function characteristic using polynomials and ratio of polynomials; why an appropriate mapping of a transfer function on to a suitable structure is important for practical applications; and how to analyse, represent and explore the trade-off between time and frequency representation of signals. An ideal textbook for students, it will also be a useful reference for engineers working on the development of signal processing systems.

‘This textbook covers, clearly and concisely, the core material of a DSP course … it is suitable as the main text for an undergraduate DSP course or for a short course for practising engineers.’
