Product Description
This book provides the communications engineer involved in the physical layer of communications systems, the signal processing techniques and design tools needed to develop efficient algorithms for the design of various systems. These sytems inlcude satellite modems, cable modems, wire-line modems, cell-phones, various radios, multi-channel receivers, audio encoders, surveilance receivers, laboratory instruments, and various sonar and radar systems. The emphasis woven through the book material is that of intuitive understanding obtained by the liberal use of figures and examples. The book contains examples of all these types of systems. The book also will contain MATLAB script files that implement the examples as well as design tools for filters similar to the examples.

 The "Zen" of Advanced Digital Signal Processing! September 1, 2004
Mark J. Foster (SF Bay Area, CA)
14 out of 15 found this review helpful
Several years ago, my company hired Fred Harris as a consultant to help create an extremely complex multi-channel digital receiver. As it turned out, we could not have found a better candidate. Fred doesn't just offer state-of-the-art processing techniques - many of which he himself has developed - his pragmatic focus on efficiency and real-world implementation is truly refreshing.
This superb book delivers that same approach and philosophy in a very readable, approachable text. Unlike the vast majority of books in the field, which teach only the mathematics of signal processing, Fred teaches you what it really means, and how to make it work. You'll learn extremely efficient signal processing techniques, but even more importantly, you'll gain a much deeper understanding of digital communications that will change the way you approach systems design. From my perspective, this is quite simply the best book available for practitioners who are creating advanced digital communications systems.

The most valuable text ever for Multirate filters and DSP May 5, 2004
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
With excellent clarity, multirate filters are described, derived and then implemented. Any DSP filter designer will benefit from this book, advanced or not. Also, a series of proprietary filter structures have been 'donated' to the DSP community in this book, wherein some of the most effecient filter structures I've ever seen are explained and implemented.
A DSP classic! July 8, 2007

Every decade or so a book comes out that distills a lot if scattered knowledge on an important subject into one concise and comprehensible tutorial. This is such a book. It introduces new ideas on better ways to skin the proverbial DSP cat!
This book clearly explains sampling rate switching architectures and how they can greatly reduce processing cycles and simplify digital and analog hardware. I've used a few of these tricks in the past, but what an eye opener to see so many great examples of sneaky DSP.
Fred Harris makes it clear with vivid examples and MatLab illustrations that using multi-rate signal processing moves you into a whole new class of implementations. No longer does one ask, "What sampling rate do I need to satisfy Nyquist? The question is now, "What sampling rate do I need in each section to optimize the design? This book helps the DSP practitioner answer that question. The sampling rate degree of freedom liberates! Use it and prosper!

Since fred harris is my all time favorite professor I may be a little biased. From what I have read so far it is in keeping with his style of being able to explain complex subjects in an understandable manner. After 30 years in the industry I am still using the tricks he taught me.
The Reference Standard for Multirate Processing April 4, 2008

I wish this work were available when I was implementing multi-rate, multi stage filters with MSI integrated circuits and a wire wrap gun! But we are now in the FPGA world, and professor harris's work is in tune with today's hardware implementations. His attention to implementation efficiency with realistic comparisons is valuable. My only minor "ding" would be that some of the MATLAB code is not well documented and the results take some effort to interpret. That said, having the MATLAB code is a BIG plus. Even better would be to have Simulink models of the filters.
