DSP Filter Cookbook (Electronics Cookbook Series)
Digital filters and real-time processing of digital signals have traditionally been beyond the reach of most, due partially to hardware cost as well as complexity of design. In recent years, low-cost digital signal processor (DSP) development boards have put this within reach. This book will break down this design complexity barrier by means of simplified tutorials, step-by-step instructions, along with a collection of audio projects. Design formulas are presented to build the digital...
Speech and Audio Processing in Adverse Environments (Signals and Communication Technology)
Users of signal processing systems are never satis?ed with the system they currently use. They are constantly asking for higher quality, faster perf- mance, more comfort and lower prices. Researchers and developers should be appreciative for this attitude. It justi?es their constant e?ort for improved systems. Better knowledge about biological and physical interrelations c- ing along with more powerful technologies are their engines on the endless road to perfect systems. This book is an...
Introduction to Digital Filters: with Audio Applications
A digital filter can be pictured as a “black box” that accepts a sequence of numbers and emits a new sequence of numbers. In digital audio signal processing applications, such number sequences usually represent sounds. For example, digital filters are used to implement graphic equalizers and other digital audio effects. This book is a gentle introduction to digital filters, including mathematical theory, illustrative examples, some audio applications, and useful software starting points....
