Might have been useful once...
The book is fundamentally sound for a DSP class but the disk is worthless - NT won't even read it, much less run the software. If a prof requires this book, ask them to find a newer one.

This book sucks!!!!!!
Don't waste your time or money on this worthless piece of junk. The so-called algorithms are written to run under DOS and will not run under Windows 95 ,NT,98, without throwing errors. If you can find a fossilizedcomputer somewhere, maybe you deserve this mess!!! (Normally I wouldn'teven give this one star, but negative numbers aren't possible.) ... Read more

Product Description
This book is a uniquely practical DSP text which places the emphasis on understanding the principles and applications of DSP with a minimum of mathematics. In one volume, it covers a broad area of digital signal processing systems such as A/D and D/A converters, adaptive filters, spectral estimation, neural networks, Kalman filters, fuzzy logic, data compression, error correction and DSP programming. Many courses will find that this book will replace several texts currently in use.

The level is ideal for introductory university modules, and similar courses such as HNC/D. As DSP has come to be studied at a lower academic level over recent years this text meets a genuine need. It is also suitable for use on industrial training courses and ideal as a reference text for professionals.

A readable introduction to the practical application of DSP
Broad coverage of the subject means this will cover a typical undergraduate module in just one book
Practical focus with maths treated as a practical tool - not an advanced maths text ... Read more

Not an introduction
The online description states "Ideal for introductory university modules", but the preface of the book (which is not included in the pages that are provided for online viewing) states "This book is not a basic signal processing textbook... it is assumed you have a good knowledge of sampling, difference equations, z-transforms, FIR and IIR filters, FFT, etc."I was looking for something more basic so I sent it back. ...

Product Description
With the introduction of WAP in Europe and I-mode in Japan, mobile terminals took their first steps out of the world of mobile telephony and into the world of mobile data. At the same time, the shift from 2nd generation to 3rd generation cellular technology has increased the potential data rate available to mobile users by tenfold as well as shifting data transport from circuit switched to packet data. These fundamental shifts in nature and the quantity of data available to mobile users has led to an explosion in the number of applications being developed for future digital terminal devices. Though these applications are diverse they share a common need for complex Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and in most cases benefit from the use of programmable DSPs (Digital Signal Processors).

• Features contributions from experts who discuss the implementation and applications of programmable DSPs
• Includes detailed introductions to speech coding, speech recognition, video and audio compression, biometric identification and their application for mobile communications devices
• Discusses the alternative DSP technology which is attempting to unseat the programmable DSP from the heart of tomorrow's mobile terminals
• Presents innovative new applications that are waiting to be discovered in the unique environment created when mobility meets signal processing

The best "DSP for wireless communications" book I know
I highly recommend this book for the variety of DSP-related applications it covers in the field of wireless communications. The book is very well structured and discusses very well the implementations choices engineers are faced with. Being an RF engineer myself, I enjoyed learning several aspects of 'baseband' architecture challenges. The authors are real experts and the book is very readable. ... Read more

Product Description
'Why are there all these different processor architectures and what do they all mean? Which processor will I use? How should I choose it?'Given the task of selecting an architecture or design approach, both engineers and managers require a knowledge of the whole system and an explanation of the design tradeoffs and their effects. This is information that rarely appears in data sheets or user manuals. This book fills that knowledge gap.

Section 1 provides a primer and history of the three basic microprocessor architectures. Section 2 describes the ways in which the architectures react with the system. Section 3 looks at some more commercial aspects such as semiconductor technology, the design cycle, and selection criteria. The appendices provide benchmarking data and binary compatibility standards.Since the first edition of this book was published, much has happened within the industry. The Power PC architecture has appeared and RISC has become a more significant challenger to CISC. The book now includes new material on Power PC, and a complete chapter devoted to understanding the RISC challenge. The examples used in the text have been based on Motorola microprocessor families, but the system considerations are also applicable to other processors. For this reason comparisons to other designs have been included, and an overview of other processors including the Intel 80x86 and Pentium, DEC Alpha, SUN Sparc, and MIPS range has been given.Steve Heath has been involved in the design and development of microprocessor based systems since 1982. These designs have included VMEbus systems, microcontrollers, IBM PCs, Apple Macintoshes, and both CISC and RISC based multiprocessor systems, while using operating systems as varied as MS-DOS, UNIX, Macintosh OS and real time kernels. An avid user of computer systems, he has written numerous articles and papers for the electronics press, as well as books from Butterworth-Heinemann including VMEbus: A Practical Companion; PowerPC: A Practical Companion; MAC User's Pocket Book; UNIX Pocket Book; Upgrading Your PC Pocket Book; Upgrading Your MAC Pocket Book; and Effective PC Networking.

The goal of this report is to assist managers in gauging a company's financial performance vis--vis firms competing in the same sector, at the global level.In particular, this report covers DSP GROUP, INC., SANTA CLARA, USA.

With the globalization of markets, greater foreign competition, and the reduction of entry barriers, it becomes all the more important to benchmark a company's performance against other firms on a worldwide basis.Doing so, however, is not an obvious task.First, one needs to find firms competing in the same sector.Second, one needs to control for exchange rate volatility.Finally, one needs use comparable financial standards.This report overcomes these issues and gives full financial benchmarks vis--vis worldwide competitors who are present in the same narrow industrial classification. Benchmarks cover assets, liabilities, income and ratios.Since our reports are printed on demand, the figures available are for the latest quarter and are the most up to date available (4 reports are produced each year). ...
