Product Description This supplement to any standard DSP text is one of the first books to successfully integrate the use of MATLAB? in the study of DSP concepts. In this book, MATLAB? is used as a computing tool to explore traditional DSP topics, and solve problems to gain insight. This greatly expands the range and complexity of problems that students can effectively study in the course. Since DSP applications are primarily algorithms implemented on a DSP processor or software, a fair amount of programming is required. Using interactive software such as MATLAB? makes it possible to place more emphasis on learning new and difficult concepts than on programming algorithms. Interesting practical examples are discussed and useful problems are explored. This updated second edition includes new homework problems and revises the scripts in the book, available functions, and m-files to MATLAB? V7.

Perfect but aging companion to Discrete Time Signal Processing February 4, 2006 calvinnme 13 out of 13 found this review helpful
This book does exactly what it purports to do - it teaches the reader how to perform signal processing tasks using Matlab. It starts out with signals and systems and moves on to the DTFT, the Z Transform, the DFT, digital filter structures including both IIR and FIR design, and finally covers some advanced topics in adaptive signal processing and communications. It even contains full-blown projects using Matlab on adaptive channel equalization, binary spread spectrum communications, and system identification. The reader should use another text such as Oppenheim's "Discrete Time Signal Processing" to get the theory, and come to this book on how to implement that theory in Matlab. The one drawback is that the book is older, so it is using Matlab 5. Also, another reviewer mentioned that much of the book is inaccessible to users who do not have the rather expensive signal processing toolkit at their disposal. Fortunately, thanks to the open source movement, this last problem has been solved. Octave, now on SourceForge, an open source code repository, has many of the matlab functions available for free that you need to do signal processing.
In conclusion, I highly recommend this book to signal processing students and professionals who wish to incorporate Matlab into their work.
Excellent one March 16, 2000 Justo S. 19 out of 21 found this review helpful
I started studying (seriously) both digital signal processing and MATLAB with this book. Its explanations as well as its examples were an incredible help for me. Even now, after reading higher-level books, I have this one near my desk for reference. I just like it.
Excellent for review of DSP Mathematics.... June 5, 2003 Earl Hooks (Lansdowne, Pennsylvania) 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Great companion book to "Understanding Digital Signal Processors" by Lyons and "Digital Signal Processors" by Hayes. I would recommend this book strictly for a companion book. It doesn't go into in-depth detail or explanation of Laplace, z-transforms, or Fourier Transforms but displays a good foundation for MatLab DSP routines.
My First Encounter with DSP Programming September 7, 2000 8 out of 9 found this review helpful
I am a graduate Student who has has had no proir use of MATLAB I am taking a DSP course this semester and this book got me into the thick of things right away since my instructor assumed I could use MATLAB already.A must for any DSP student
Excellent hand-holding for beginners! September 27, 2002 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
While this is not a book to use to learn concepts,it sure takes you to a deeper level of DSP learning thru clear hands-on examples. Not to mention a few intuitive results which surprise you here and there.
