Designed and written by experienced and well-respected authors, this hands on, multi-media package provides a motivating introduction to fundamental concepts, specifically discrete-time systems. Unique features such as visual learning demonstrations, MATLAB laboratories and a bank of solved problems are just a few things that make this an essential learning tool for mastering fundamental concepts in today's electrical and computer engineering forum. KEY TOPICS: Covers basic DSP concepts, integrated laboratory projects―related to music, sound and image processing. Other topics include new MATLAB functions for basic DSP operations, Sinusoids, Spectrum Representation, Sampling and Aliasing, FIR Filters, Frequency Response of FIR Filters, z-Transforms, IIR Filters, and Spectrum Analysis. MARKET: Useful as a self-teaching tool for anyone eager to discover more about DSP applications, multi-media signals, and MATLAB.
For introductory courses (sophomore/junior) in Digital Signal Processing and Signals and Systems. Text may be used before the student has taken a course in circuits.

This text is derived from DSP First: A Multimedia Approach, published in 1997, which filled an emerging need for a new entry-level course not centered on analog circuits in the ECE curriculum. It was also successfully used in 80 universities as a core text for linear systems and beginning signal processing courses. This derivative product, Signal Processing First [SPF] contains similar content and presentation style, but focuses on analog signal processing. Note: DSP First: A Multimedia Approach remains in print for those who choose a digital emphasis for their introductory course.
