DSP application examples

It may be useful at this point to discuss in considerable detail some common DSP applications. Some of the contents of this chapter will be better appreciated after learning about digital filter design and implementations. However, these examples will help us recapture the broad picture of the usefulness of DSP in a variety of engineering areas.

The first application is on periodic signal generation using wave tables. Wave table generation techniques have become more popular with some of the new audio cards available for PCs. It is a very flexible way to generate periodic waveforms like sinusoidal waves. Wave table synthesis lies at the heart of many computer music application programs. This example also serves to ...
