A significant revision of a best-selling text for the introductory digital signal processing course. This book presents the basics of discrete-time signals, systems, and modern digital processing and applications for students in electrical engineering, computer engineering, and computer science.The book is suitable for either a one-semester or a two-semester undergraduate level course in discrete systems and digital signal processing. It is also intended for use in a one-semester first-year graduate-level course in digital signal processing.

Reader Reviews
I just got it the other day, and saw much more changes than was originally reported. Most of the deletions are in the earlier chapters dealing with basic concepts of DSP (something usually dealt with in a senior undergraduate class on DSP), while the additions are mostly in the later chapters dealing with more advanced concepts - stuff usually dealt with in an advanced/graduate level course. Topics on LTI systems and their state space representation have been dropped en masse, while Adaptive filtering has been added as a new chapter. Some of the deletions are (Section #s are from the IIIrd ed.: 2.6.4 - Computation of Autocorrelation Sequences 3.6.7 - Schür-Cohn Stability Test 4.2.12 - Physical and Mathematical Duality 4.4 - Freuqnecy domain characteristics of LTI systems 4.5 - LTI systems as frequency selective filters 4.6 - Inverse systems and deconvolution 7.4 - State space analysis and structures 8.3.4 - Matched-z transformation 8.5 - Design of Digital Filters based on Least-Squares method 10.5 - The Direct Form FIR filter part of this section 10.5.3 - Time variant filter structures Some additions: Chapter 4 - Frequency domain and time domain signal properties Chapter 7 - The Discrete Cosine Transform 4 new subsections on Polyphase filter structures and sampling rate conversion added Section on Digital Filter Banks and Quadrature Mirror Filters (previously part of 'Applications of Multirate Signal Processing') considerably expanded (in new subsection) Section on M-channel QMF banks added Section on Random Signals, Correlation Functions and Power Spectra (formaerly in Appendix A) added A whole new chapter on Adaptive Filters added Section on Minimum Variance Spectral Estimation expanded Some other changes include: Section on 'Response of Pole-Zero systems with non-zero initial conditions' has been combined with other topics. Topics on 'Sampling and Reconstruction of Signals' have been completely revamped and reworked; Outlying topics dealing with this material have all been brought together in one place. Topic covering 'Oversampling A/D and D/A converters' has been moved to the Sampling chapter. In a few words, the new version has moved away from its DSP basics background to give space more advanced topics - in this respect, it has begun resembling, to an extent, the initial parts of Manolakis' other book (with Ingle and Kogon). Although still relevant to undergraduate students or relative newcomers to DSP, many of the topics are now best handled at the graduate level, which already has a slew of good tomes on the vast subject (including one by Manolakis himself). Moreover, if you need to study LTI and time variant systems, this edition is no longer of any use - stick to ed. III or look for Signals and Systems by either Haykin and Van Veen or Ziemer, Tranter and Fannin. Comment (1) | | (Report this)
