Product Description
Product Description
For introductory courses (sophomore/junior) in Digital Signal Processing and Signals and Systems. Text may be used before the student has taken a course in circuits.
For access to Instructor Resource Materials please visit:

Please contact your local Pearson Sales Representative for further information.
This text is derived from DSP First: A Multimedia Approach, published in 1997, which filled an emerging need for a new entry-level course not centered on analog circuits in the ECE curriculum. It was also successfully used in 80 universities as a core text for linear systems and beginning signal processing courses. This derivative product, Signal Processing First [SPF] contains similar content and presentation style, but focuses on analog signal processing. Note: DSP First: A Multimedia Approach remains in print for those who choose a digital emphasis for their introductory course.
From the Back Cover
This best-selling, hands-on, multimedia package provides an introduction to fundamental concepts, specifically discrete-time systems, for beginning engineering students. Created and written by the same well-respected authors, it has been adopted in over 100 institutions worldwide since publication. This class-tested learning package is also widely used as a self-teaching tool to discover more about USP applications, multimedia signals, and MATLAB®. Unique features such as visual learning demonstrations, MATLAB laboratories, and a bank of solved homework problems are just a few of the things that make this an essential learning tool for mastering fundamental concepts in today's electrical and computer engineering curricula.

Format:Hardcover
This is a fantastic book as an introduction to Signal processing. The authors take the reader from simple tuning fork examples to a detail explanation of the Fourier Transform. Whats more exciting is that the reader derives the Fourier Transform almost without knowing it. The reader is then introduced to finite impulse response filters and infinite impulse response filters while note dodging difficult subjects such as poles and infinity in the IIR filter. The appendix is a comprehensive covererage of complex numbers, matlab programming and lab projects. The CD that accompanies the book gives the reader lots of examples that accompany the various chapters in the book. A must have for any DSP novice or expert.

I consider this book as a signal processing enabling book
27 Aug 1999
Format:Hardcover
I consider this book as a signal processing enabling book and I use it with my students at the University as an introduction, previous to networking or Multimedia specific subjects. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a gentle introduction to digital signal processing, and is no willing to pass through a high math path. The math's are there but in their just proportion. The author is concerned about concepts, and the movies on the CD are of great help in order to get them. Th introduction to complex notation, difference equations and convolution are the gentles I've read. If you manage to solve the numeric exercises, you end with working concepts and skills in the area. The authors try to give examples from several fields like sounds, pictures and video in order to make the material understandable. Its not a very rigorous book but is a valuable one if you prefer concepts to mathematical rigor. After working the proposed projects, you can deal with filtering, image analysis, sampling, aliasing and several other signal processing techniques knowing what you are doing.

Outstanding, a favorite book
14 May 2000
Format:Hardcover
This book, along with "Understanding Digital Signal Processing" and Steiglitz' "DSP Primer" are the best, most useful, yet gentle introductions to DSP I have ever read. If only I had this book before I entered grad school! The CD-ROM that comes with it is very well done; a brilliant presentation! Highly recommended.

The best introductory DSP text!
12 Dec 2000
Format:Hardcover
This is by far the best introductory DSP book - forget the rest and get this one. The authors take you by the hand and with their years of teaching and research experience, lead you step by step into the strange and unique world of DSP. The CD examples, animations, and audio summaries are extremely valuable. Make sure that you look at them, only then will you really "get it", instead of being just an equation manipulator. This book is also very well suited for self-study professional engineer. Bravo! The standard has been set, let's see if other authors can follow.
