Welcoming MANY New Bloggers!
The response to the latest call for bloggers has been amazing and I am very grateful.
In this post I present to you the individuals who, so far (I am still receiving applications at an impressive rate and will update this page as more bloggers are added), have been given access to the blogging interface. I am very pleased with the positive response and I think the near future will see the publication of many great articles, given the quality of the...
DSPRelated and EmbeddedRelated now on Facebook & I will be at EE Live!
I have two news to share with you today.
The first one is that I finally created Facebook pages for DSPRelated.com and EmbeddedRelated (DSPRelated page - EmbeddedRelated page). For a long time I didn't feel that this was something that was needed, but it seems that these days more and more people are using their Facebook account to stay updated with their favorite websites. In any event, if you have a Facebook account, I would greatly appreciate if you could use the next 5 seconds to "like"...
Collaborative Writing Experiment: Your Favorite DSP Websites
You are invited to contribute to the content of this blog post through the magic of Google Docs' real time collaboration feature.
I discovered this tool several months ago when I was looking for a way to coordinate our annual family halloween party (potluck) and avoid the very unpleasant situation of ending up with too much chips and not enough chocolate (first world problem!). It was amusing to keep an eye on the "food you will bring" document we had created for this and watch...
DSPRelated Finally on Twitter!
Hello!
It's been a while since you've heard from me - and there are many reasons why:
1 - I've made a clown of myself (video here)
2 - I've been working on unifying the user management system. You can now participate to the three related sites (DSPRelated, FPGARelated and EmbeddedRelated) with only one account (same login info).
3- I've been working on getting up to speed with social networks and especially Twitter. I have resisted the idea for a while - at 40...
Do you like the new Comments System?
I have just finished implementing a new comments system for the blogs. Do you like it?
Please share your thoughts with me by adding a comment.
I'll wait a few days and make sure it works properly and then I'll port it to the code snippets and papers section.
Thanks!
DSP Papers, Articles, Theses, etc
As you may already know, there is a 'Papers and Theses' section on DSPRelated:http://www.dsprelated.com/documents.phpThere are hundreds of DSP Related documents (articles, papers, theses, dissertations, etc) scattered all around the web, and the goal with this section is to find and list as many of those documents as possible in one place. There are, at the moment, a little over 100 documents listed, which I believe is only a small subset of what is available out there, and I need your help...
Code Snippets Suggestions
Despite being only a couple of months old, the Code Snippet section ( DSPRelated.com/code.php ) already contains tens of snippets, thanks to the contributors who have taken the time to share their code.
But let's not stop here - there is room for several hundreds more snippets before the database can be said to cover a decent portion of the DSP field.
To keep the momentum going, I will do two things:
First, I am modifying the rewards program. Instead of...
Latest DSP Books
As you may already know, Rick Lyons has just published a new edition of his highly acclaimed book: "Understanding Digital Signal Processing". This book has been getting very high ratings and positive reviews from the DSP community since the publication of the first edition. The 3rd edition seems to contain more than enough new material to justify replacing your old copy.
Also of possible interest to you, a new DSP book by C. Britton Rorabaugh titled "
Code Snippets Section Now LIVE
The new code sharing section is now live and can be accessed HERE.
Please take a few minutes to rate and/or comment the snippets that you have the expertise to judge.
If you think of some code snippets that you would like to share with the DSP community, please apply to become a contributor HERE.
If you are not aware of the reward program for contributors, your can learn about it HERE.
As always, your comments and suggestions are...
New Code Sharing Section & Reward Program for Contributors!
UPDATE (11/02/2010): The code section is now live.
UPDATE 2 (01/31/2011): The reward program has changed. A flat fee of $20 per code snippet submitted will now be paid.

I am very happy to finally announce the imminent launch of the new code sharing section. My vision for this new section is a rich library of high quality code snippets for the DSP community, from processor specific functions to Matlab or Scilab routines, from the simplest filter...
Feedback Controllers - Making Hardware with Firmware. Part 6. Self-Calibration Related.
This article will consider the engineering of a self-calibration & self-test capability to enable the project hardware to be configured and its basic performance evaluated and verified, ready for the development of the low-latency controller DSP firmware and closed-loop applications. Performance specifications will be documented in due course, on the project website here.
- Part 6: Self-Calibration, Measurements and Signalling (this part)
- Part 5:
Feedback Controllers - Making Hardware with Firmware. Part 5. Some FPGA Aspects.
This part of the on-going series of articles looks at a variety of aspects concerning the FPGA device which provides the high-speed maths capability for the low-latency controller and the arbitrary circuit generator application. In due course a complete specification along with application examples will be maintained on the project website here.- Part 5: Some FPGA Aspects (this part)
- Part 4: Engineering of...
New Blog Section!
By now, chances are you have noticed the new blogs section (you are actually in it right now!).
Following an email I sent to the members of the site, a few weeks ago, asking for dsp engineers willing to blog here, I received around 50 propositions. I have selected an initial set of 10 bloggers (that I will soon introduce into a seperate post) and I am currently in the process of creating their accounts. Markus and Parth have already...

50,000th Member Announced!
In my last post, I wrote that DSPRelated.com was about to reach the 50,000 members mark. Well, I am very happy to announce that it happened during the holidays, and the lucky person is Charlie Tsai from Taiwan. Charlie is an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the National Central University in Taiwan where he teaches the "Biomedical Signal Processing" class. He is also the advisor of the

Almost 50,000 Members!
I am very happy to announce that DSPRelated.com will reach the 50,000 registered members mark before the end of 2009. To celebrate this milestone, I will buy a BMW 5 to the 50,000th person to register (please make sure to confirm you email address to activate your registration). Please read the fine prints after the picture.
I am just having fun here and it's not even April's fool day. The 50,000th member won't get a BMW (I wish I could offer it!),...

New Discussion Group: DSP & FPGA
I have just created a new discussion group for engineers implementing DSP functions on FPGAs. The creation of this group has been on my todo list for a long time. If you want to join the group, send a blank email to: fpgadsp-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
As usual, it should take a few weeks before there are enough members for interesting discussions to get started.

Determination of the transfer function of passive networks with MATLAB Functions
With MATLAB functions, the transfer function of passive networks can be determined relatively easily. The method is explained using the example of a passive low-pass filter of the sixth order, which is shown in Fig.1

If one tried, as would be logical, to calculate the transfer function starting from the input, it would be quite complicated. On the other hand, if you start from the output, the determination of this function is simple...
