System Analysis and Signal Processing: With Emphasis on the Use of Matlab - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Philip Denbigh is a Reader in the School of Engineering at the University of Sussex.

He began his career as a member of the Technical Staff at Bell Telephone Laboratories, Murray Hill, New Jersey, working on electron diffraction. He then progressed to the position of Principal Engineer at GEC-Marconi, Stanmore, working on satellite communication systems.

Philip's academic credentials include Lecturer at the University of Birmingham doing research into sonar, with emphasis on high frequency imaging sonars and Professor at the University of Cape Town with research activities in acoustic fish stock assessment, correlation logs, animal localization, synthetic aperture sonar,
electronically focused sidescan sonar, and 3-D imaging sonars. His teaching has been mainly in the fields of communication systems, radar and sonar, and digital signal processing.

His work as Reader at the University of Sussex has involved investigating sonar and speech. The most important objective has been to find an engineering solution to the "cocktail party effect". Algorithms have been developed that separate speech from a background of interference. He considers his most important research achievement to have been that of pioneering sidescan sonars which rapidly survey the depth of the sea bed.

Are you looking for:

• a clear and accessible introduction to 'signals and systems'?
• a text that integrates the use of MATLAB throughout and provides an introductory tutorial to the software?
• comprehensive coverage of both continuous and discrete-time signal processing?
• a book that will be useful for further study?

If the answer to any of the above questions is 'Yes' then this is the ideal coursebook for you.

System Analysis and Signal Processing provides a self-contained text suitable for students of 'signals and systems' and signal processing, from introductory to graduate level; it also serves as a useful companion for those studying network analysis and communications. Clear explanations and easy-to-follow examples using practical situations help to make this book one of the most accessible on the topic.

This is the only book you will need on the subject.

• a readable and concise treatment of the essential topics, emphasizing physical interpretations
• the smooth introduction of relevant mathematics in context
