Product Description

For introductory courses (sophomore/junior) in Digital Signal Processing and Signals and Systems. Text may be used before the student has taken a course in circuits.

This text is derived from DSP First: A Multimedia Approach, published in 1997, which filled an emerging need for a new entry-level course not centered on analog circuits in the ECE curriculum. It was also successfully used in 80 universities as a core text for linear systems and beginning signal processing courses. This derivative product, Signal Processing First [SPF] contains similar content and presentation style, but focuses on analog signal processing. Note: DSP First: A Multimedia Approach remains in print for those who choose a digital emphasis for their introductory course.

From the Back Cover

This best-selling, hands-on, multimedia package provides an introduction to fundamental concepts, specifically discrete-time systems, for beginning engineering students. Created and written by the same well-respected authors, it has been adopted in over 100 institutions worldwide since publication. This class-tested learning package is also widely used as a self-teaching tool to discover more about USP applications, multimedia signals, and MATLAB®. Unique features such as visual learning demonstrations, MATLAB laboratories, and a bank of solved homework problems are just a few of the things that make this an essential learning tool for mastering fundamental concepts in today's electrical and computer engineering curricula.

Customer Reviews

Essential for new signal processing people
This is a fantastic book as an introduction to Signal processing. The authors take the reader from simple tuning fork examples to a detail explanation of the Fourier Transform. Whats more exciting is that the reader derives the Fourier Transform almost without knowing it. The reader is then introduced to finite impulse response filters and infinite impulse response filters while note dodging difficult subjects such as poles and infinity in the IIR filter. The appendix is a comprehensive covererage of complex numbers, matlab programming and lab projects. The CD that accompanies the book gives the reader lots of examples that accompany the various chapters in the book. A must have for any DSP novice or expert.
