Digital Signal Processing Primer, A: With Applications to Digital Audio and Computer Music - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

This book by Ken Steiglitz is directed to the new market of DSP users brought about by the development of powerful and inexpensive software tools to analyze signals. These new tools allow sophisticated manipulation of signals but do not provide an understanding of the theory or the foundation for the techniques. This easy-to-understand introduction develops an intuitive approach to the development of the mathematics of DSP and uses examples from areas of the spectrum familiar to beginners together with thought provoking questions and suggested experiments.

Contraportada

This new book by Ken Steigliz offers an informal and easy-to-understand introduction to digital signal processing, emphasizing digital audio and applications to computer music. A DSP Primer covers important topics such as phasors and tuning forks; the wave equation; sampling and quantizing; feedforward and feedback filters; comb and string filters; periodic sounds; transform methods; and filter design. Steiglitz uses an intuitive and qualitative approach to develop the mathematics critical to understanding DSP.

A DSP Primer is written for a broad audience including:

• Students of DSP in Engineering and Computer Science courses.
• Composers of computer music and those who work with digital sound.
• WWW and Internet developers who work with multimedia.
• General readers interested in science that want an introduction to DSP.

Features:

• Offers a simple and uncluttered step-by-step approach to DSP for first-time users, especially beginners in computer music.
• Designed to provide a working knowledge and understanding of frequency domain methods, including FFT and digital filtering.
• Contains thought-provoking questions and suggested experiments that help the reader to understand and apply DSP theory and techniques.
