Preface

This book is an expansion of the original Understanding Digital Signal Processing textbook published in 1997 and, like the first edition, its goal is to help beginners understand this relatively new technology of digital signal processing (DSP). Additions to this second edition include:

  • Expansion and clarification of selected spectrum analysis and digital filtering topics covered in the first edition making that material more valuable to the DSP beginner.

  • Expanded coverage of quadrature (complex I/Q) signals. In many cases we used three-dimension time and frequency plots to enhance the description of, and give physical meaning to, these two-dimensional signals.

  • With the new emphasis on quadrature signals, material was added describing the ...
