DSP Technology

Signals, Systems, Transforms, and Digital Signal Processing with MATLAB®

Brief Notes in Advanced DSP

Michael Corinthios

University of Texas, San Antonio, USA

Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, Montreal, Canada

Signals, Systems, Transforms, and Digital Signal Processing with MATLAB® has as its principal objective simplification without compromise of rigor. Graphics, called by the author, "the language of scientists and engineers", physical interpretation of subtle mathematical concepts, and a gradual transition from basic to more advanced topics are among the important contributions of this book. After illustrating the analysis of a function through a step-by-step addition of harmonics, the book deals with Fourier and Laplace transforms. It then covers discrete time signals and systems, the z transform, continuous- and discrete-time filters, active and passive filters, lattice filters, and continuous- and discretetime state space models. The author goes on to discuss the Fourier transform of sequences, the discrete Fourier transform, and the fast Fourier transform, followed by Fourier-, Laplace, and z-related transforms, including Walsh–Hadamard, generalized Walsh, Hilbert, discrete cosine, Hartley, Hankel, Mellin, fractional Fourier, and wavelet. He also surveys the architecture and design of digital signal processors, computer architecture, logic design of sequential circuits, and random signals. He concludes with simplifying and demystifying the vital subject of distribution theory. Drawing on much of the author’s own research work, this book expands the domains of existence of the most important transforms and thus opens the door to a new world of applications using novel, powerful mathematical tools.

Multi-Core Embedded Systems Edited by

Georgios Kornaros TEI of Crete, Greece

Increasingly demanding modern applications—such as those used in telecommunications networking and real-time processing of audio, video, and multimedia streams—require multiple processors to achieve computational performance at the rate of a few giga-operations per second. This necessity for speed and manageable power consumption makes it likely that the next generation of embedded processing systems will include hundreds of cores, while being increasingly programmable, blending processors and configurable hardware in a power-efficient manner. Multi-Core Embedded Systems presents a variety of perspectives that elucidate the technical challenges associated with such increased integration of homogeneous (processors) and heterogeneous multiple cores. It offers an analysis that industry engineers and professionals will need to understand the physical details of both software and hardware in embedded architectures, as well as their limitations and potential for future growth. The book begins with an overview of the evolution of multiprocessor architectures for embedded applications and discusses techniques for autonomous power management of system-level parameters. It addresses the use of existing open-source (and free) tools originating from several application domains— such as traffic modeling, graph theory, parallel computing and network simulation. This is a detailed discussion of research on the interaction between multi-core systems, applications and software views, and processor configuration and extension, which add a new dimension to the problem space. The text offers a useful overview of the most widespread industrial and domain-specific solutions, providing several examples of working implementations. Catalog no.

Classical signal processing techniques are based primarily on the analog nature of all signals. However, the continuously improving performance of digital circuitry and processors has prompted a switch to digital signal processing techniques rather than the traditional analog ones. Applied Signal Processing recognizes the linkage between the two paradigms and presents a unified treatment of both subjects (analog and digital signal processing) in one authoritative volume. It introduces underlying principles, basic concepts, and definitions as well as classic and contemporary designs of signal processing systems. The author includes a detailed description of data converters, an interface between the real world of analog signals and the artificial world of digital signals. He provides a concise presentation of topics by limiting the number of complex equations and using lucid language. Numerous real-world application examples are featured within each chapter including architectures from Texas Instruments, Motorola, and Analog Devices. With its compounded coverage of both analog and digital signal processing techniques, this book provides engineers with the knowledge they need to understand the analog basis of modern digital signal processing techniques and construct architectures for modern systems.
