Digital Filters: Analysis, Design, and Signal Processing Applications

Overview

Long regarded as the bible of digital filters and the place to find easy, efficient, and optimal solutions for the analysis and design of digital filters and their applications to signal processing, this enduring classic has been updated and restructured into a state-of-the-art volume on the analysis and design of digital filters and their applications to signal processing.

The new edition, like its predecessors, starts with the basics of signal analysis and spectral representation, and then moves on to the fundamentals of discrete-time system theory and, in due course, it tackles digital-filter design, the hallmark of the previous editions. The necessary principles on complex analysis are included in an appendix for the benefit of students who have not had the chance to learn the prerequisite mathematics and it is just as handy as a reference or refresher for students who have done so. The rather extensive coverage of this textbook makes it suitable for junior/senior as well as graduate level courses.

Like previous editions, the new edition deals with the principles involved in an easy and often unique style. Theories, techniques, methods, and algorithms are supported by numerous examples and MATLAB illustrations and dozens of end-of-chapter problems. The new edition is supported by a collection of software including the author's software package D-Filter which will, on the one hand, facilitate students to learn the fundamentals of digital filtering in an interactive way and will, on the other, enable engineers and scientists to design digital filters of professional quality.
