Hi Guys,
several of you have asked me when the 2nd edition
of my "Understanding Digital Signal Processing" book
will be available, and the answer is that it's
now available.
The new book contains, roughly, 200 pages of new
DSP material. (By the way, I expressed my appreciation
to all of you here on comp.dsp in both the Dedication and
Acknowledgements sections.)
*** An Interesting Note ***
I just noticed that, as of March 30th, Amazon.com is
offering the 2nd edition (ISBN# 0131089897) for $56,
making it less expensive than the 1st edition! Neat.
*** Some Info on the 2nd Edition ***
The 2nd edition expands a bit on several of the topics
covered in the 1st edition; such as FIR and IIR filters,
and the DFT. In addition, the 2nd edition's new
material includes:
1) Expanded "quadrature processing" coverage including
three-dimensional drawings to help the reader
understand these two-dimensional quadrature (I & Q)
signals. This is a tricky subject for beginners in
signal processing, so I kept my coverage as gentle,
thorough, and practical as I could.
2) Coverage of the Hilbert transform, theory and practical
implementations, along with several techniques to
generate an quadrature (analytic) signal from a
real signal.
3) A new chapter on not-so-well-known FIR filters called:
"frequency sampling", and "interpolated FIR" filters.
These computationally efficient linear-phase FIR filters
deserved coverage in a textbook.
4) Additional coverage of multirate systems (decimation
and interpolation); including both an introduction to
polyphase filters and a fairly detailed description of
cascaded integrator-comb (CIC) FIR filters.
5) The book's 1st edition had 12 "tricks" in the popular
"DSP Tricks" chapter. I've expanded that chapter to
33 separate DSP tricks.
Ordering information can be found at:

In case you'd like to order a copy of the 2nd edition, make
sure you order the book whose ISBN# is 0131089897.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Rick Oh no...looking at your latest additions, you've eliminated quite a few probable '2004 comp.dsp conference' papers in one shot!! While I didn't own your earlier edition, I hope to get the 2nd edition for my rather small library.

Hi Rick, It is very nice to hear that the second edition of the book "Understanding Digital Signal Processing" is released. I would like to know that when will be the Indian edition is available? rgds ajith Jerry Petrey <"jdpetrey<NOSPAM>"@raytheon.com> wrote in message news:<406C39BE.3A28059@raytheon.com>...> r_obert@REMOVE_THIS.hotmail.com wrote: > > > Congrats Rick!

Rick will be sharing some of his ideas at the comp.dsp Conference. He is in charge of our presentations and is always looking for new tricks. (TRANSLATION: Step up and be a presenter at the comp.dsp conference) I'm sure many of you have a few of your own tricks that Rick will want to include in the third edition (the edition that our grandchildren will be reading). Since I'm sure that Rick is exhausted from all the work of creating the new second edition, you will probably want to attend the comp.dsp conference to get a head start on all those third edition tricks.> > While I didn't own your earlier edition, I hope to get the 2nd edition > for my rather small library.> > Cheers > Bhaskar > >Rick's first edition is a very popular DSP book, and is very well written.
