-Understanding Digital Signal Processing - 2nd Edition
Richard G. Lyons
This is undoubtedly the most accessible book on digital signal processing available to the beginner. Using intuitive explanations and well-chosen examples, this book gives you the tools to develop a fundamental understanding of DSP theory. The author covers the essential mathematics by explaining the meaning and significance of the key DSP equations. Comprehensive in scope, and gentle in approach, the book will help you achieve a thorough grasp of the basics and move gradually to more sophisticated DSP concepts and applications.
The book begins with a complete explanation of the often misunderstood topic of periodic sampling. The introduction to the important discrete Fourier transform, and its fast Fourier transform (FFT) implementation, is the most lucid and illuminating explanation available anywhere. You will also find extensive information on both finite impulse response (FIR) and infinite impulse response (IIR) digital filters, as well as coverage of the benefits of signal averaging. In addition, the book demystifies the abstruse topics of the Convolution theorem and complex signals. The practical uses of various binary number formats are also carefully described and compared. Finally, a collection of tricks-of-the-trade used by professionals to make DSP algorithms more efficient will help you apply DSP concepts successfully.
-Time Domain Interpolation by Frequency Domain Zero Padding
Rick Lyons
Performing interpolation on a sequence of time-domain samples is an important (often used) process in DSP, and there are many descriptions of time-domain interpolation (a kind of curve fitting) in the literature and on the Internet. However, there’s a lesser-known scheme used for interpolation that employs the inverse discrete Fourier transform (DFT). This little tutorial attempts to describe that technique.
-Quadrature Signals: Complex but not Complicated
Rick Lyons
Quadrature signals are based on the notion of complex numbers and perhaps no other topic causes more heartache for newcomers to DSP than these numbers and their strange terminology of j-operator, complex, imaginary, real, and orthogonal. If you're a little unsure of the physical meaning of complex numbers and the j = sqrt(-1) operator, don't feel bad because you're in good company. Why even Karl Gauss, one the world's greatest mathematicians, called the j-operator the "shadow of shadows". Here we'll shine some light on that shadow so you'll never have to call the Quadrature Psychic Hotline for help.
-DSP Tutorials
Cuthbert A. Nyack
Index of several tutorials on DSP. Many feature interactive Java applets.
-The FFT, Fundamentals and Concepts
Robert W. Ramirez
Recommended reference for the production testing course.
-Digital Communications: Fundamentals and Applications (2nd Edition)
Bernard Sklar
The book traces the signals and key processing steps from the information source, through the transmitter, channel, receiver, and ultimately to the information sink. Emphasis is placed on system goals and the need to trade-off basic system parameters such as signal-to-noise ratio, probability of error, and bandwidth.
