Digital Signal Processing using MATLAB (Activate Learning with these NEW titles from Engineering!)

Digital Signal Processing using MATLAB (Activate Learning with these NEW titles from Engineering!)

Focus on the development, implementation, and application of modern DSP techniques with DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING USING MATLAB, 3E. Written in an engaging, informal style, this edition immediately captures your attention and encourages you to explore each critical topic. Every chapter starts with a motivational section that highlights practical examples and challenges that you can solve using techniques covered in the chapter. Each chapter concludes with a detailed case study example, a chapter summary with learning outcomes, and practical homework problems cross-referenced to specific chapter sections for your convenience. DSP Companion software accompanies each book to enable further investigation. The DSP Companion software operates with MATLAB and provides intriguing demonstrations as well as interactive explorations of analysis and design concepts. "The author's approach seems to me to be good and logical. The balance between theory, applications and using computer tools (MATLAB, etc.) for verification is a very good balance. The concepts are well presented and described. The examples are more than adequate. The illustrations are in general very good. The range of topics discussed is very good. Using MATLAB is a plus." "Organization of material is fine. The approach to the topics presented in the text is good and it is consistent with the educational and learning process. The authors are paying attention to the level of the student's understanding and the need to motivate and illustrate concepts with examples and problem descriptions and guidance to appropriate solutions. The authors use good graphics, good side notes, good demarcations to break pace and mark important concepts as side-bars that pull the student's attention." "I like the inclusion of a chapter summary at the end of each chapter. I think these short summary sections play an important role in the learning process. Overall, this is a solid textbook! Of course, the use of MATHLAB examples has become the standard in DSP courses, and it is well-represented in this textbook." Robert J.
