Audio Bandwidth Extension: Application of Psychoacoustics, Signal Processing and Loudspeaker Design
Bandwidth extension (BWE) refers to various methods that increase either the perceived or real frequency spectrum (bandwidth) of audio signals. Such frequency extension is desirable if at some point the frequency content of the audio signal has been reduced, as can happen for example during recording, transmission or reproduction. This volume, significant in dealing exclusively with BWE, discusses applications to music and speech and places particular emphasis on signal processing...

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...
