Great intro book!

This book is a great introduction to DSP. It provides solid mathematical background along with verbage to explain what the math means, pseudo-code algorithms for actually applying the concepts to software, and TONS of worked design examples and figures to aid understanding. Also lots of references to where in the real-world the topics are used. Particularly in the area of audio processing.

good introduction

as the first conceiving for the book got from its title, it is an introduction approach to dsp. slow steady steps ,many tactics to approach and address problems, alot of repetitive examples to reinforce ideas and many illustrative figures; make the book very useful to a dsp-beginner student. really i find myself marching slowly but surely during this book, but there is a need from time to time to refer to some other mathematical reference books to find how some equations were derived. i strongly recommend this book as a steady step in DSP field.

Great Intro Book

Hi, I am taking Professor Orfanidi's class. As a teacher, he has shown so much enthusiam for his work and so as his book. The book is excellent for begineers. It was especially great for me, since I didn't take Linear System, a prerequiste course for DSP. The best assest of the book is that it moves very slowly and doesn't seem to require a secondary resources(like a teacher). This is good because i don't go to classes. (think about 8 O Clock classes, naww) It is enriched with clear cut examples which points out subtle differences. If I could make it better, I would advise him to make the problem set interesting. (and also tell him to have 4:30 PM classes). The Problems are very repeative, long, unprocative and insipid. Doing DSP hw has always been a tiresome experience. The problems are only good for reinforcing necessary skill, they lack the allure of complexities behind critcal thinking.

An Excellent Practical Approach to Learning DSP

This text is one of the most valuable references for anyone who is involved in FIR, IIR, or FFT algorithm development for DSPs in modem design. It is an excellent blend of theoretical and practical issues. The author focuses on an intuitive approach to cover theoretical aspects of the subject manner, and also includes vary practical explainations of DA's, AD's, circular buffers in DSP chips, and pseudo code for the most common algorithms encountered in DSP which are easily converted to 'C' or MATLAB. I am a practicing wireless hardware development engineer, and constantly refer to this text. I feel this work is a better learning text than the one by Oppenheim & Schafer which is more commonly used in academic institutions.

This is a good introductory book...really good!

FIR and Interpolation, D/A and A/D implications to data sampling, DFT and Zeros and Poles...this book is good for educational purposes but also for reference...for those concepts that don't stick to your brain and yet you need one in a while!. I do recommend this book, personally, it is going to serve me well.
