Digital Signal Processing Using MATLAB by Vinay K. Ingale and John G. Proakis
From the beginning of the 1980s we have witnessed a revolution in computer technology and an explosion in user-friendly applications. This revolution is still continuing today with low-cost personal computer systems that rival the performance of expensive workstations. This technological prowess should be brought to bear on the educational process and, in particular, on effective teaching that can result in enhanced learning.
This companion book on digital signal processing (DSP) makes a small contribution toward reaching that goal. The teaching methods in signal processing have changed over the years from the simple “lecture-only” format to a more integrated “lecturelaboratory” environment in which practical hands-on issues are taught using DSP hardware. However, for effective teaching of DSP the lecture component must also make extensive use of computer-based explanations, examples, and exercises.
For the past several years, the MATLAB software developed by The MathWorks, Inc. has established itself as the de facto standard for numerical computation in the signal-processing community and as a platform of choice for algorithm development. There are several reasons for this development, but the most important reason is that MATLAB is available on practically all-computing platforms. In this book we have made an attempt at integrating MATLAB with traditional topics in DSP so that it can be used to explore difficult topics and solve problems to gain insight. Many problems or design algorithms in DSP require considerable computation. It is for these that MATLAB provides a convenient tool so that many scenarios can be tried with ease. Such an approach can enhance the learning process.
This book is primarily intended for use as a supplement in junior- or senior-level undergraduate courses on DSP. Although we assume that the student (or user) is familiar with the fundamentals of MATLAB, we have provided a brief introduction to MATLAB in Chapter 1. Also, this book is not written as a textbook in DSP because of the availability of excellent textbooks. What we have tried to do is to provide enough depth to the material augmented by MATLAB functions and examples so that the presentation is consistent, logical, and enjoyable. Therefore, this book can also be used as a self-study guide by anyone interested in DSP.
