5 out of 5 stars Intro book on DSP   March 16, 2009
Caio Gubel (El Paso, TX)
This is a very good book, specially for someone new to the field or who hasn't work in it for a while. I recommend to check from the authors website for some exercises and extra info.

Steve Smith does a great job in explaining the concepts of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) in language almost anyone can understand. He does reference some equations but carefully explains them so you can use them.




5 out of 5 stars Good basic intro to DSP   October 22, 2008
B. welsh (seattle, wa)
I've had some theory classes on filtering and digital signal processing, but they always went right into the math to start with. Next they would provide a very simplistic example, then they would move to the next subject. This book goes the other way. It has a little bit of math and then goes into great detail on how to apply the math to a problem. Since most people don't spend their days doing math proofs, they need to solve a real world problems, this book has already done the heavy lifting by presenting applications of digital signal conditioning that can be used directly.

Yes everyone complains about the BASIC programing in the book, but that is not a big deal since the programs can be easily converted to your favorite code or simulation tool.



5 out of 5 stars It is a joy to read.   April 3, 2007

The author knows his stuff; instead of hiding behind equations and leaving it up to you to work out what it all means; he tells you what in means and gives you the equations.


4 out of 5 stars Good reference - and its free.   August 9, 2005

I am a mechanical engineer, but lately I have been doing a lot of signal processing and data analysis using MatLab. This book was a great way to get back up to speed. Its clear and concise without geting too bogged down in theory - lots of directly applicable tips and info.
Its also free for download on the author's website, www.dspguide.com, and from Analog Devices website in their training materials area, [...].
