Digital Signal Processing

This book is a tutorial on the latest version of Texas Instruments' line of digital signal processors. It also discusses the DSK or Digital Signal Processor Starter Kit developed and sold by Texas Instruments at $100 which is a fraction of the price of a Digital Signal Processor in the TMS line or of a competitor.

A practical guide to using the TMS320C31 DSP Starter Kit

With applications and demand for high-performing digital signalprocessors expanding rapidly, it is becoming increasingly importantfor today's students and practicing engineers to master real-timedigital signal processing (DSP) techniques.

Digital Signal Processing: Laboratory Experiments Using C and theTMS320C31 DSK offers users a practical--and economicalm--approachto understanding DSP principles, designs, and applications.Demonstrating Texas Instruments' (TI) state-of-the-art, low-pricedDSP Starter Kit (DSK), this book clearly illustrates and integratespractical aspects of real-time DSP implementation techniques andcomplex DSP concepts into lab exercises and experiments. TI'sTMS320C31 digital signal processor provides substantial performancebenefits for designs that have floating-point capabilitiessupported by high-level language compilers.

Most chapters begin with a theoretical discussion followed byrepresentative examples. With numerous programming examples usingTMS320C3x and C code included on disk, this easy-to-read text:
* Covers DSK tools, the architecture, and instructions for theTMS320C31 processor
* Illustrates input and output
* Introduces the z-transform
* Discusses finite impulse response (FIR) filters, including theeffect of window functions
* Covers infinite impulse response (IIR) filters
* Discusses the development and implementation of the fast Fouriertransform (FFT)
* Examines utility of adaptive filters for differentapplications

Bridging the gap between theory and application, this bookfurnishes a solid foundation for DSP lab or project design coursesfor students and serves as a welcome, practically oriented tutorialin the latest DSP techniques for working professionals.
