Perfect but aging companion to Discrete Time Signal Processing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book does exactly what it purports to do - it teaches the reader how to perform signal processing tasks using Matlab. It starts out with signals and systems and moves on to the DTFT, the Z Transform, the DFT, digital filter structures including both IIR and FIR design, and finally covers some advanced topics in adaptive signal processing and communications. It even contains full-blown projects using Matlab on adaptive channel equalization, binary spread spectrum communications, and system identification. The reader should use another text such as Oppenheim's "Discrete Time Signal Processing" to get the theory, and come to this book on how to implement that theory in Matlab. The one drawback is that the book is older, so it is using Matlab 5. Also, another reviewer mentioned that much of the book is inaccessible to users who do not have the rather expensive signal processing toolkit at their disposal. Fortunately, thanks to the open source movement, this last problem has been solved. Octave, now on SourceForge, an open source code repository, has many of the matlab functions available for free that you need to do signal processing. In conclusion, I highly recommend this book to signal processing students and professionals who wish to incorporate Matlab into their work.
Excellent for review of DSP Mathematics....

Great companion book to "Understanding Digital Signal Processors" by Lyons and "Digital Signal Processors" by Hayes. I would recommend this book strictly for a companion book. It doesn't go into in-depth detail or explanation of Laplace, z-transforms, or Fourier Transforms but displays a good foundation for MatLab DSP routines.
Excellent hand-holding for beginners!

While this is not a book to use to learn concepts,it sure takes you to a deeper level of DSP learning thru clear hands-on examples. Not to mention a few intuitive results which surprise you here and there.
My First Encounter with DSP Programming
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I am a graduate Student who has has had no proir use of MATLAB I am taking a DSP course this semester and this book got me into the thick of things right away since my instructor assumed I could use MATLAB already.A must for any DSP student
Excellent one

I started studying (seriously) both digital signal processing and MATLAB with this book. Its explanations as well as its examples were an incredible help for me. Even now, after reading higher-level books, I have this one near my desk for reference. I just like it.
