Essential Guide to Digital Signal Processing, The 1st Edition by Richard Lyons (PDF)

Description

¿ How signal processing works: clear, simple explanations in plain EnglishBreakthrough DSP applications: from smartphones to healthcare and beyondCovers both digital and analog signalsAn indispensable resource for tech writers, marketers, managers, and other nonengineers The Complete DSP Guide for Businesspeople and Nontechnical Professionals Digital signal processing (DSP) technology is everywhere–each time you use a smartphone, tablet, or computer; play an MP3; watch a digital TV or DVD; get GPS directions; play a video game; take a digital photo; or even have an MRI, DSP technology is at work. Now, for the first time, The Essential Guide to Digital Signal Processing offers readers of all levels simple, plain-English explanations of digital and analog signals and modern DSP applications. Whether you sell technology, write about it, manage it, fix it, or invest in it, this is the book for you. Using everyday examples and simple diagrams, two leading DSP consultants and instructors completely demystify signal processing. You’ll discover what digital signals are, how they’re generated, and how they’re changing your life. You’ll learn all you need to know about digital signal collection, filtering, analysis, and more, and how DSP works in today’s most exciting devices and applications. Coverage includesHow engineers understand and work with analog signal spectra and frequenciesHow digital signals are generated and used in modern electronic devicesThe surprising things that happen when analog signals are converted to digital formHow (and why) engineers compute digital signal spectra with Fourier transformsWhat wavelets are and how they’re used everywhere, from medicine to the camera in your smartphoneHow digital filters are used in DSP applicationsCutting-edge DSP applications, from automatic music-tuning software to medical EKG signal analysisA comprehensive glossary of signal processing terminology and acronyms You’ll gain a clear, conceptual understanding of all key signal processing operations and vocabulary. That means you’ll understand much of the “magic” built into today’s newest devices, and you’ll be ready to succeed in virtually any nontechnical role that requires DSP knowledge.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is just a great book for non-engineers. (electrical that is.) It explains all the big buzz words in simple language and with great many pictures. The emphasis given the book is written by Lyons is on DSP. But there is a lot to learn here. On nearly every page, you will hear your self saying ah, now I see!I think this would be a great book for any smart high school student headed to engineering school. It covers a large swath of the field and will give very good head-start.On the other hand, I gave a copy of the book to one of my friends who is professor of mechanical engineering locally. He loved it. So the range is large, high school to PhD. But really any one who is working in the tech field and really wants to understand what these terms means, should get this book. – Charan Langton

⭐This is excellent work done on covering the gap of signal processing knowledge to anyone that does not come from the field but works on the field.I recommend this to teachers and students of neighbor sectors, such as those from the creative media industries of audio engineering, filmmaking, etc.It covers the very basics of signal theory in a very light manner. I learned how FFT works without even thinking the mathematics.Not for advanced scholars or practitioners of the subject, but highly recommended for the very basics intro.Excellent work!

⭐This is a great introductory book that explains the basic concepts behind signal processing and DSP. Highly recommended. And no math either.Appendix D is full of errors though, but not enough to drop my rating to 4 stars

⭐After I finished the book – I looked at the glossary of terms. Just a few days earlier I had not even heard 90% of them… and at the end of the book I understood what they meant!Could not have asked for a better book to get started with signal processing as a person without any engineering background!Thank you for creating such a valuable resource!

⭐The book was a little more basic than I realized but good to use if you for a refresher. I purchased the book for my Kindle and the digital format was as expected.

⭐This book is a very good introduction on the subject, but if you’re looking for a more advanced information about it, try Understanding DSP from the same author. I recommend this book if Dsp is completely new to you.

⭐This is a great book for even experienced DSP engineers. Especially the ones that don’t use it every day. Chapter 5 is World Class information, but the entire book is perfect for what they are trying to convey. And it is a great background for what is needed when you use the best book available “Understanding Digital Signal Processing”, Rev. 3.

⭐Some parts were to basic (filters)I liked the book beause it covered the basic needs for understanding how signals works

⭐For some reason I bought this in haste without checking the reviews or the detailed description of the book. It is a very basic book which just covers some fundamental terms and definitions. Let’s put it this way, it explains binary numbers ! If you have A-level maths or equivalent you are unlikely to learn anything from this.

⭐Pitched at just the right level for a beginner. Very well written and illustrated. Highly recommended for anyone new to this field who wants to get started.

⭐Richard Lyons’ books good

⭐I thought the book was great to catch up on a few terms and to bring me back to the days of school. I found it easy to read, and some of the content was incremental so its beneficial for people who learn based on reinforcement of concepts. In short: quick, clear, and concise introduction.However, I found the book a bit light when it comes to aliasing (IMHO this should be expanded a bit more because it wasn’t clear to someone who doesn’t know). There should also be a bit more on how people process the signals – maybe a couple pseudo examples of code. And introduce how ML is used with signal processing.I’d solidly recommend this book to young adults trying to understand electronics as well.

⭐Good for those needing a broad and general introduction without getting bogged down in detail or mathematics . In particular key fundamentals such as Nyquist (without too much theory), aliasing and a brief foray into spectral analysis are easily digestible and sufficient to gain a high level understanding.
