Practical Application in Digital Processing (13 Edition)

of Real Devices & Systems in Hardware and Software

Practical Applications in Digital Signal Processing is the first DSP book to focus entirely on designing today's most important DSP applications and implementing them in hardware and software. Focusing on practical design knowledge rarely taught in the classroom, Richard Newbold gives engineering students, and entry-level

and experienced engineers the critical DSP design information they need to be effective.

Newbold flattens the steep learning curve typically associated with DSP, equipping engineers and students to produce system-level, hardware-level, and software-level designs without having to reinvent technical solutions already known to industry veterans. Drawing on decades of experience, he shares an extraordinary toolbox of proven circuits, procedures, algorithms, and techniques.

Newbold begins by carefully introducing today's essential mathematical tools for DSP system design, including digital frequency, complex variables, Fourier transforms, and Z-transforms, as well as hardware and software used to implement these designs. Next, he presents complete tutorials on designing and developing nine complete applications– each of them illustrated with detailed diagrams and thoroughly annotated figures. Newbold concludes by demonstrating how to write mixed-language C/C++ FORTRAN programs that leverage your organization's treasure chest of proven code.

Applications covered include

·      Finite Impulse Response (FIR) digital filtering, including CAD methodologies based on Parks McClellan Optimal Filter Design

·      Multirate FIR filter design via polyphase, half-band, and CIC filters

·      Converting complex to real signals for digital radio and other applications

·      Digital frequency synthesis using programmable Numerically Controlled Oscillators (NCOs)

·      Signal tuning in both continuous analog and discrete digital domains

·      Elastic store memory interfaces between processing systems or data streams with asynchronous data rates

·      Digital Data Locked Loop (DLL) design for de-multiplexing and synthesis

·      Channelized filter banks (transmultiplexers) for FDM/TDM conversion, mixing consoles, wideband scanners, and wideband intercept processing

·      Type I and Type II digital Automatic Gain Control (dAGC)

The Only DSP Book 100% Focused on Step-by-Step Design and Implementation of Real Devices and Systems in Hardware and Software

Practical Applications in Digital Signal Processing is the first DSP title to address the area that even the excellent engineering textbooks of today tend to omit. This book fills a large portion of that omission by addressing circuits and system applications that most design engineers encounter in the modern signal processing industry.

This book includes original work in the areas of Digital Data Locked Loops (DLLs), Digital Automatic Gain Control (dAGC), and the design of fast elastic store memory used for synchronizing independently clocked asynchronous data bit streams. It also contains detailed design discussions on Cascaded Integrator Comb (CIC) filters, including the seldom-covered topic of bit pruning. Other topics not extensively covered in other modern textbooks, but detailed here, include analog and digital signal tuning, complex-to-real conversion, the design of digital channelizers, and the techniques of digital frequency synthesis. This book also contains an appendix devoted to the techniques of writing mixed-language C\C++ Fortran programs. Finally, this book contains very extensive review material covering important engineering mathematical tools such as the Fourier series, the Fourier transform, the z transform, and complex variables.
