If you were like me, you would consider it one of those courses that you get out of confused. But maybe a time will come where you regret skipping class because of the lecturer's persisting attempts to scare you with mathematical involved nomenclature.As you might have guessed, I had this moment few months back where I had to go...]]> Mon, 26 Mar 2012 22:09:02 +0000 Sami Aldalahmeh Why is Fourier transform broken https://www.dsprelated.com/showarticle/152.php Every engineer who took a basic signal processing course is familiar with the Gibbs phenomenon, however, not all know why it occurs, I mean really why!

The answer lies in the mathematical background that is almost always skipped in signal processing courses. Moreover, from my experience at least, many textbooks present the theory, e.g. the Fourier transform, as infallible and no discussion of...]]> Tue, 04 Oct 2011 10:03:15 +0000 Sami Aldalahmeh More free Ebooks https://www.dsprelated.com/showarticle/150.php I found this website that contains loads of free, high quality, ebooks and journals as well. There is 176 ebooks under electrical engineering heading. I found books suitable for engineers, researcher, and hobbiest as well.

Here is the link for it:

Tue, 13 Sep 2011 18:00:02 +0000 Sami Aldalahmeh ICASSP 2011 conference lectures online (for free) https://www.dsprelated.com/showarticle/147.php For the first time, the oral presentations of the International Conference on Accoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP) were recorded and posted online for free. This conference is the best in signal processing and it's diverse as well.

It has a bit speech processing, communication signal processing, and some interesting stuff like bio-inspired signal processing, where Prof. Sayed...]]> Tue, 05 Jul 2011 23:29:17 +0000 Sami Aldalahmeh FREE Peer-reviewed IEEE signal processing courses https://www.dsprelated.com/showarticle/140.php The IEEE signal processing society is offereing FREE peer reviewed courses, though not many, they are peer reviewed and span differenet topics like; wavelets, speech analysis, and statistical detection.

The first step is to make a choice on which algorithm to use, e.g. for filtering should we use FIR or IIR. Then we can go a little bit deeper into the,  high level, implementation details, e.g. use the symmetry in FIR filter to reduce complexity. When the algorithm is clear, the first step is to...]]> Wed, 13 Apr 2011 21:44:49 +0000 Sami Aldalahmeh We are famous!! https://www.dsprelated.com/showarticle/127.php Today one of my supervisor said to me that the IEEE Signal Processing eNewsletter mentioned me, well sort of:) It actually talked about Social media resources for DSP and pointed to this website's blog section.

]]> Wed, 08 Dec 2010 23:11:02 +0000 Sami Aldalahmeh State Space Representation and the State of Engineering Thinking https://www.dsprelated.com/showarticle/123.php Most, if not all, textbooks in signal processing (SP) thoroughly covers the frequency analysis of signals and systems alike, including the Fourier and the Z-transform that produce the well known Transfer Function. Another way of signal analysis, not as popular in signal processing though, is State Space representation. State space models describes the internal signals of the system or the...]]> Tue, 23 Nov 2010 08:25:47 +0000 Sami Aldalahmeh Knowledge Mine for Embedded Systems https://www.dsprelated.com/showarticle/106.php

I stumbled upon a great website (actually I found it on the google ads in gmail!) with comprehensive and deep information on embedded systems. The website talks about four main categories in embedded systems:

1) Embedded Systems Design.

2) Design Life cycle.

3) Design Methods.

4) Design Tools.
