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. A title in the Georgia Institute of Technology Digital Signal Processing Laboratory Series.
