Product Description
Answers the commonly asked questions about how digital signal processing-based machines work and what role DSP plays in the process. It shows you how DSP performs in real-test situations and uses mathematical concepts rather than derivations. The text addresses difficult test problems and their solutions resulting from the union of automatic test equipment (ATE) and DSP. The author establishes a philosophy of DSP-based testing describing how to think, how to approach a problem, how to create a solution, and how to determine if it really works properly.

Reader Reviews
This book was written in 1987, and many parts of it are still germane. The approach to solving DSP problems, and of testing DSP circuitry are timeless, as long as DSP circuits will exist. What does need to be updated is text that reflects the massive gains in DSP complexity and speed since then. If anything, the debugging problems are much harder now, due to these hardware advances. In an industrial context, this is important because the Automated Test Equipment field has had to make massive investments in upgrading, to maintain its usefulness. Overall, you can still find the book useful today, for its problem solving way of thinking.
