Customer Reviews

digital signal processing

The text came in time for class to begin even though the time was short.

Great practical resource

I can't say how this would be as an intro to signal processing, but it's an excellent book for the working engineer. This one spends more time on top of my desk than any of my other textbooks. It includes lots of examples, illustrations, Matlab code, review materials, etc. And Mitra is the king of allpass filters!

Great as a reference, probably not for a beginner

This book is wonderful as a reference for those conversant in DSP. This book's primary strength is the breadth and depth of the material covered. This book contains material on a wide variety of topics; more than most DSP textbooks. The other selling point of this book is its close association with MATLAB. There are quite a few MATLAB examples in the companion CD. Using MATLAB makes learning DSP much easier and more intuitive. The reader can play around with the example programs to get a real feel for the subject matter. Beginners might find this book a bit difficult to read through. In a few places the explanation is either not clear or could have been written more intuitively. For newbies, I would probably suggest other books which are better written (such as Proakis). I particularly liked the following sections: Chapters 3-5 - Especially the sections of filter design for A/D and D/A converters. I like that the z-transform is introduced after Fourier transform. Chapter 8 - A comprehensive treatment of filter structures. Chapter 12 - Good coverage of issues associated with fixed point implementations. This can be appreciated more by practicing engineers. Chapter 15 - This chapter looks at a few real world applications of DSP. Its both informative and insightful. This was my favorite chapter.

Very Good Book

This is very good book for teaching and for self study of digital signal processing. It is especially useful for Matlab users.

Extraordinary for beginners and regulars

Of all the books (reference or text) this book supersedes all of them in both theory and examples. It should be must for beginners. A very preliminary knowledge of MATLAB would immensely help while reading this book. And for those DSP practitioners this book is valuable asset. The power of MATLAB is thoroughly utilized in this volume, and the reader will learn both DSP and MATLAB. This book is welcome change from those dull and monotonous books on DSP usually used now.
