Digital Signal Processing and Applications with the OMAP-L138 eXperimenter

Preface

This book continues the series started in 1990 by Rulph Chassaing and Darrell Horning's Digital Signal Processing with the TMS320C25 and which has reflected the development of successive generations of digital signal processors by Texas Instruments. More specifically, each book in this series has complemented a different one of the inexpensive DSP development tools promoted by the Texas Instruments University Programme for teaching purposes. A consistent theme in the books has been the provision of a large number of simple example programs illustrating DSP concepts in real-time in a laboratory setting.

It was Rulph Chassaing's belief, and also mine, that hands-on teaching of DSP, using hardware development kits and laboratory test equipment to process analog audio frequency signals, is a valuable and effective way of reinforcing the theory taught in lectures.

The contents of the books, insofar as they concern fundamental concepts of digital signal processing such as analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion, FIR and IIR filtering, the Fourier transform, and adaptive filtering, have changed little. Every year, in the context of university teaching, brings another set of students wanting to study this material. However, each successive book has concerned a different hardware development kit. The latest hardware development kit to be promoted by the Texas Instruments University Programme is the Logic PD OMAP-L138 eXperimenter.

This book is suitable for senior undergraduate ...
