Introduction to Digital Signal Processing: A Computer Laboratory Textbook (Georgia Tech Digital Signal Processing Laboratory Series) - Softcover

This well-written introduction exposes students to digital signal processing in a computer environment. Through a series of projects and exercises, the text helps students develop confidence in manipulating discrete-time signals without having to write and debug large programs. Included are a summary of many concepts basic to signal processing and a library of DSP computer functions that run on personal computers. Included with the text is a disk with stand-alone programs that perform elementary signal processing functions.

• The software is easy to use with an on-line help function that explains the usage of all DSP functions. This allows students to concentrate on DSP principles instead of details related to software usage.
• The topics covered include practical applications that help students relate DSP concepts to real-world problems.
• Exercises can be modified easily in many cases to provide variety from year to year. This encourages independent work and discourages copying the lab work from students in previous classes.
• Exercises are designed for easy grading; for example, many exercises call for a hand-drawn sketch that can often be graded by inspection.
• All exercises have been student tested at Georgia Institute of Technology.
• Chapter 7 includes 9 projects that provide an opportunity for students to apply a variety of DSP concepts and exercise their creativity.
