"DSP Tips & Tricks" column in IEEE Sig. Proc. Magazine

Hi Guys,
    In case you were wondering, please know 
that the IEEE Signal Proc. magazine has *NOT* 
stopped publishing its "DSP Tips and Tricks" 
column.  Last Fall I notified the Signal 
Proc. magazine's Editor-n-Chief that I no 
longer had the spare time to produce a 
"DSP T&T" column for every issue.  After some 
negotiation, I agreed to stay on as the 
column's editor and produce a column 
for every 2nd issue of the magazine  

The last T&T column was in the March 2008
issue--a neat article about 'DC cancellation 
filters' by our Randy Yates and some other guy.
The next "T&T" column will be in the July 2008 
issue, and it's a interesting article on 'sample 
rate change' (decimation & interpolation). 

With that said, if any of you are familiar with 
the T&T column's "style and content", and have 
an idea for a potential T&T article, I'd be happy 
to dicuss your idea with you. 

Regards,
[-Rick-]

And if we don't subscribe to the magazine, is there a way we can view
the articles without paying $13 a pop?

If the title / abstract sounds interesting, I'm pretty sure the
author(s) would be very happy to send you an electronic copy for
personal use.

Ciao,

You seem to be posting from the USA (Washington, DC?) in which case
the easiest solution would be pay a visit to an engineering library of
the nearest university. These are usually open to the public and you
can either make photo-copies or get the articles online and email them
to yourself if they have online search facilities.

I appreciate the suggestion, but the Washington, DC area covers a lot
of ground.  I would have to drive about 50 miles through DC traffic (I
am in a much less congested area) to get to one of these libraries.
So unfortunately this is not a good idea for me.  We have a local
community college, but they even dropped their basic electronics and
embedded computer courses.  They will teach you how to use Excel and
Word for $500 a semester however.

I would much rather spend the $13 than do all the driving.  I guess my
thing is that I have no idea if the article has any real interest to
me or not.  Also, I was caught off guard thinking it was the same
magazine as the Spectrum that comes with the basic membership.  I
rummaged around for 10 or 15 minutes to find the March issue only to
realize that the article is in Signal Processing!  So now I am bummed
that I don't get the magazine.  I seem to recall that the membership
in the signal processing branch is over $100 a year.  Maybe I can get
the mag without the membership.

Hi, Rick;

I'd like to see a writeup of Robert Orban's transfer function
approximation technique;

Hi Dr. K,
  Yep, that's right.  As I mentioned to rickman
in another thread, it's perfectly legal for the 
authors to distribute copies of their 
articles to whomever they wish.  So as you say,
if Rickman is able to contact the author, 
he may have a good chance of obtaining what he seeks.  

Regards,
[-Rick-]

Interesting. I'll extend question on step further.

Are titles and authors (possibly with abstracts) of "DSP Tips and 
Tricks" articles available somewhere on web?

I would not be interested in typical IEEE article so I'm not interested 
in their general indexes. (I'll try to stay of that pet rant)

Actually, I found where this topic has been discussed before and the
author did post a link to the article.  So now I have it and will take
a look at it later this week when it may be useful.

Thanks to the authors!
