An Interactive Multimedia Introduction to Signal Processing


Book Description

This introduction to elementary signal processing connects theory and application, and bridges instruction between a book and a CD-ROM packed with video, software and more. The result is a unique, non-mathematical learning system using concepts drawn from modern brain research. Readers use the popular DasyLab metrology and control engineering program to develop applications. Processing of real signals is enabled via the sound card and the parallel port. Two hundred pre-programmed signal engineering systems and design transparencies are provided on the CD-ROM. There are numerous videos, more than 250 photos, and - most important – all "living" experiments and their results are visualized.




Signals, Processes, and Systems


Book Description

This is a very new concept for learning Signal Processing, not only from the physically-based scientific fundamentals, but also from the didactic perspective, based on modern results of brain research. The textbook together with the DVD form a learning system that provides investigative studies and enables the reader to interactively visualize even complex processes. The unique didactic concept is built on visualizing signals and processes on the one hand, and on graphical programming of signal processing systems on the other. The concept has been designed especially for microelectronics, computer technology and communication. The book allows to develop, modify, and optimize useful applications using DasyLab - a professional and globally supported software for metrology and control engineering. With the 3rd edition, the software is also suitable for 64 bit systems running on Windows 7. Real signals can be acquired, processed and played on the sound card of your computer. The book provides more than 200 pre-programmed signal engineering systems and design transparencies. Numerous introduction-videos, one for every chapter, and more than 250 high-quality figures come along with the learning system, as well as a visualization of all the "living" experiments and their results. With this learning system, readers can now make use of "equipment" and software. The new, 3rd edition many improvements, corrections and smaller additions, and a new chapter new chapter presenting a clear introduction to mathematical modeling of signals, processes, and systems.

Discover Signal Processing


Book Description

Signal processing is now a multidisciplinary topic, and one that has applications in many fields including, but not limited to, science, engineering, medicine, finance and the behavioural sciences. Modern software libraries that include dedicated languages and packages designed to simplify the development and application of signal processing techniques are now readily available; however this ease of application means that an understanding of the various techniques is imperative. It is critical that the student or practitioner is able to choose an appropriate processing technique, be aware of potential errors involved and understand how to control them. Discover Signal Processing exploits the rationale of “learning by doing”; actually attempting and performing a task is the most effective way to remember and understand. It presents the reader with a diverse range of exercises; some intended to recall or practice simple concepts, others more complex & aimed at developing a real understanding of the issues involved. These are accompanied by step-by-step explanations of the tools and techniques required. Provides systematic, organized and accessible instruction in a complex and mathematical subject. Stresses the understanding, selection and application of available signal processing techniques, as well as identification and control of error mechanisms; Includes more than 60 exercises covering major aspects of signal processing tools & geared at performing or testing specific tasks; Uses MATLAB as a platform, utilizing its extensive GUI capabilities enabling exercises to be performed using graphical elements only. Discover Signal Processing provides an excellent & accessible guide to signal processing for mechanical, aeronautical, civil and electronic engineers in their senior/ graduate year. It will also be of interest to those attending CPD courses as well as to practicing engineers.
