Discrete Systems And Digital Signal Processing With Matlab

Books on linear systems typically cover both discrete and continuous systems together. While electrical and computer engineering students need a solid background in both areas, coverage of that scope does justice to neither. Discrete linear systems is a broad area, and those studying the subject need and deserve a dedicated treatment. Discrete Systems and Digital Signal Processing with MATLAB presents all of the material needed to build a strong foundation and at the same time master the use of MATLAB for problem solving. This treatment is detailed and firmly rooted in basic mathematical principles. It covers all of the traditional topics but features several chapters that make the book unique: -Two stand-alone chapters on transformations and continuous filter design presented before a thorough treatment of IIR and FIR digital filter design. Together these four chapters form a complete presentation of digital filter design found in no other text -A chapter on state-space discrete systems and another summarizing all representations used in describing discrete linear systems -A very comprehensive chapter on the DFT and FFT that covers a wide range of FFT applications Each chapter contains a multitude of examples that illustrate each concept as it is presented and includes end-of-chapter sections of examples and exercises that demonstrate the theory. Each chapter also contains a section of "insights" that helps students gain a deeper understanding of key terms and connect the concepts to real-life situations.
