Product Description
A comprehensive, practical and up-to-date exposition on digital signal processing. Both mathematical and useful, this book uses a rigorous approach to help readers learn the theory and practice of DSP. It discusses practical spectral analysis, including the use of windows for spectral analysis, sinusoidal signal analysis, and the effect of noise. It also covers FIR and IIR filters, including detailed design procedures and MATLAB tools.

 A nice textbook December 13, 2001

Several things I liked about this book:
a. Concise.
b. The order of the book (better than oppenheim's book). CTFT, DTFT, Sampling Theorem, DTF, FFT, Spetral Analysis are all related to Fourier analysis. Oppenheim's book has filter desgin in between, I don't know why he did that.
c. I like the examples and questions provided in this book. For example, the example about the Nyquist-T spectrum, the example about the passband signal direct sampling...very thoughtful, useful examples for engineers.
Things I don't like:
a. The book is kind of weak on Sampling theorem and DFT. I don't know why the author wants to cut DFS, i think it's quiet useful to understand DFT.
I don't recommend this book for self-study (oppenheim's book is better with more details). However, it's a good concise textbook given the condition that there is an experienced intructor guiding the students. I'd like to use this book as textbook if I become a professor in the future.
Excellent book for those desiring in-depth understanding of DSP July 16, 2007

Using a systematic approach this book starts at the very basics of signal processing through showing the analogies between window and filter designs and ending at more advanced topics such as quantization effects and random signal processing.
While the notation used in this book is not considered standard, it is consistent and saves from errors (the d for the DFT transform clears many ambiguities of other notation systems)
This book is best fit for advanced undergraduates and graduate students as well as anyone dealing with signal processing at a theoretical level. I have used this book as a textbook on my first course in DSP and later based upon its knowledge wrote a lab experiment in DSP and in particular consequences of quantization effects.
a GREAT book January 24, 2010

I LOVE this book for its exemplary clarity, conciseness and rigor. I liked having both the informal proofs which involve distributions given in parallel with the elementary proofs, thus presenting discrete signals both as sequences and as distributions. The book is written without any annoying mathematical sloppiness, quite common in DSP literature; yet, it is entirely accessible for everyone who is willing to invest an appropriate effort. Also, this is a real TEXTBOOK rather than a reference book, which keeps its size manageable and non-intimidating. In short, in my opinion, this is a must-have book for any student wishing to learn DSP with genuine understanding.
Excellent DSP undergraduate-level (and beyond) course book February 9, 2006

I took DSP basic course at my final B.Sc.EE year intending to take DSP as one of my majors. The book proved to be an excellent study resource (IMHO, of course), providing the main DSP concepts in very clear manner backed up by an examples. The stuff is presented in very thoughtfull sequence, similar to regular DSP basic course sillabus, explanations are easy to comprehend and math is easily understood (bearing appropriate math background).
I used the book solely for the study of the course, found it to be the best learning core, allows you to grasp DSP fundamentials, at least to the level necessary for basic DSP B.Sc.EE course.
The book material stratches far beyond the basic DSP course that is usually taught for B.Sc.EE, however I have yet proceeded to that material, hence cannot vouch for that material, albeit intend to go further into it later.
Hadn't chance to compare this book with its main rival (Oppenhaim and Shafer), however so far found Porat's book leaving very little to be desired to look over to others.
Bottom line - highly recommended for B.Sc.EE level DSP study and probably beyond that.

I am using the text in a DSP course as an undergrad in Electrical Engineering. It is a very clearly written, precise text that I feel is written for the undergraduate/first-year graduate who is taking a first course in DSP. Because of this, the author tends to omit some important details that other books include, particularly Oppenheim and Schafer (the intro DSP bible, as it were). This can be a great help to busy students who want a basic understanding of the theory behind DSP without caring too much about its nuances.The disadvantage of the author's conciseness is a general lack of thorough descriptions of complicated ideas. Many ideas are paraphrased rather than explained in full, which I suppose is natural at this level. For example, when discussing the concept of sampling random signals, Porat notes that "White noise cannot be sampled" because it "does not exist as a physical entity." This statement, while true, is incomplete, as any knowledgable DSP expert can attest. That MATLAB code, while present, is sparse and incomplete. I suppose this is better than nothing, but don't expect a computer-based approach to problems! Otherwise, this book has proven a solid, easily understandable (with the proper math background) textbook for a first-level course in DSP after a standard Signal Processing course. If you're looking for more detail, go with Oppenheim and Schafer.
