Book Description
A comprehensive, practical and up-to-date exposition on digital signal processing. Both mathematical and useful, this book uses a rigorous approach to help readers learn the theory and practice of DSP. It discusses practical spectral analysis, including the use of windows for spectral analysis, sinusoidal signal analysis, and the effect of noise. It also covers FIR and IIR filters, including detailed design procedures and MATLAB tools.

This book provides readers with a precise, comprehensive, practical, and up-to-date exposition on digital signal processing. Both mathematical and useful, it presents a rigorous course of study to help readers learn the theory and practice of DSP. Porat includes physical and engineering application, coupled with mathematical derivations to the extent necessary for understanding DSP concepts and methods. The book contains detailed discussion of practical spectral analysis, including the use of windows for spectral analysis, sinusoidal signal analysis, and the effect of noise. There is also comprehensive treatment of both FIR and IIR filters, including detailed design procedures and MATLAB tools.

Reader Reviews
This is a good overall book although the notations while consistent were different from most other books. The key part of this book are its problems. The explanations of concepts are sometimes only fully understood after reading through the problems, understanding them and solving them. The difficulty level of the problems varies but for the most part reflect the text in the chapters. The asterisk annotated problems are harder but have a lot of practical significance. The organization and sequence is definitely better than Oppenheim Schafer. Covering Sampling Theorem, DFT,FFT first is definitely easier and provides a solid base to start understanding Z transforms and filter design. So if you are a immune to the notational differences or are ready to take on different notations (some people are not), this is a good book for you. Comment | | (Report this)
