Practical Applications in Digital Signal Processing (English Edition)

Description

The Only DSP Book 100% Focused on Step-by-Step Design and Implementation of Real Devices and Systems in Hardware and Software Practical Applications in Digital Signal Processing is the first DSP title to address the area that even the excellent engineering textbooks of today tend to omit. This book fills a large portion of that omission by addressing circuits and system applications that most design engineers encounter in the modern signal processing industry. This book includes original work in the areas of Digital Data Locked Loops (DLLs), Digital Automatic Gain Control (dAGC), and the design of fast elastic store memory used for synchronizing independently clocked asynchronous data bit streams. It also contains detailed design discussions on Cascaded Integrator Comb (CIC) filters, including the seldom-covered topic of bit pruning. Other topics not extensively covered in other modern textbooks, but detailed here, include analog and digital signal tuning, complex-to-real conversion, the design of digital channelizers, and the techniques of digital frequency synthesis. This book also contains an appendix devoted to the techniques of writing mixed-language C\C++ Fortran programs. Finally, this book contains very extensive review material covering important engineering mathematical tools such as the Fourier series, the Fourier transform, the z transform, and complex variables. Features of this book include • Thorough coverage of the complex-to-real conversion of digital signals • A complete tutorial on digital frequency synthesis • Lengthy discussion of analog and digital tuning and signal translation • Detailed coverage of the design of elastic store memory • A comprehensive study of the design of digital data locked loops • Complete coverage of the design of digital channelizers • A detailed treatment on the design of digital automatic gain control • Detailed techniques for the design of digital and multirate filters • Extensive coverage of the CIC filter, including the topic of bit pruning • An extensive review of complex variables • An extensive review of the Fourier series, and continuous and discrete Fourier transforms • An extensive review of the z transform Review: Especially good as a companion to other popular texts - I've got a solid collection of the Old Masters on my bookshelf -- Rabiner, Proakis, Oppenheim & Schafer, all the usual suspects in the DSP business -- but it seems that as a working developer I rely more on "young Turks" like Richard Newbold and Rick Lyons than anyone else. Newbold's book is most readily comparable to Rick Lyons's "Understanding Digital Signal Processing." It may not be as widely recognized as Lyons's work but it's better at connecting the math to the code than just about any other book I own. (And that's saying something, considering there's little or no actual DSP code in the book, and what little is there is mostly FORTRAN.) Lyons is probably better as a purely introductory text, but when I need to get some code written -- most recently a CIC filter generator -- I always seem to end up with Newbold's book open on my desk. Concepts that aren't easily grasped in one book tend to be well-illuminated in the other. I'd recommend "Practical Applications in Digital Signal Processing" to anyone who's familiar with the core principles of DSP but who doesn't have the time or inclination to derive everything from them.
