Lyons has significantly updated and expanded his discussions of multirate processing techniques, which are crucial to modern wireless and satellite communications. He also presents nearly twice as many DSP Tricks as in the second edition—including techniques even seasoned DSP professionals may have overlooked.Coverage includesNew homework problems that deepen your understanding and help you apply what you’ve learnedPractical, day-to-day DSP implementations and problem-solving throughoutUseful new guidance on generalized digital networks, including discrete differentiators, integrators, and matched filtersClear descriptions of statistical measures of signals, variance reduction by averaging, and real-world signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) computationA significantly expanded chapter on sample rate conversion (multirate systems) and associated filtering techniquesNew guidance on implementing fast convolution, IIR filter scaling, and moreEnhanced coverage of analyzing digital filter behavior and performance for diverse communications and biomedical applicationsDiscrete sequences/systems, periodic sampling, DFT, FFT, finite/infinite impulse response filters, quadrature (I/Q) processing, discrete Hilbert transforms, binary number formats, and much more

User’s Reviews

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

⭐If you are planning to get into DSP from a practical point of view, then there are only two books to get – and this is one of them. DSP is a complex subject, and if you are not in an educational environment where you have easy access to teachers who can advise you, then you could easily be turned off by diving into a book such as Schafer and Oppenheim’s recognized text book on the subject. I am a retired ex-academic with an interest in signal processing, and decided to get back into the field, which had developed considerably since I was involved in basic continuous signal processing, which than revolved around Fourier analysis and integrals. I researched the market thoroughly and ended up purchasing Steven Smith’s excellent book “The Scientist and Engineer’s Guide to Digital Signal Processing”, which gives a conceptual view of DSP without getting too involved in the mathematics of the subject. Having worked through this book and established a solid basis of what DSP is all about, I decided that I needed a little more mathematical support to the concepts, and settled on the current book. What a good choice. These two books are a perfect complement to each other, and the writing style of the authors is very similar. Anybody getting into DSP is strongly advised to purchase them both. But back to the current book – this book focuses on the reader and makes you feel that you are interacting with a teacher rather than puzzling over equations. It leads you gently through the concepts, but doesn’t bypass thorough considerations of the development, for instance, of the Fast Fourier Transform, which can be quite intimidating. This is a chapter that you can scan through without disrupting the rest of the material. The book includes many exercises and – best of all – Rick Lyons has a DSP blog of tips and tricks where you can get invaluable information and interact directly with him. All in all, by purchasing this book you not only get a source-book of the practical application of DSP, but a wealth of support, and I have no hesitation in awarding it a 5-star rating.

⭐Needs some solutions. This would be a great text book in a typical classroom setting, but, for a self-learner, I find it terribly dissatisfying that there are no solutions to the many problems provided in each chapter. I understand that the book loses value for the classroom if solutions are provided. But, again, from a self-learning perspective, I would give this book 5 STARS if even half of the problem solutions were provided (e.g. odd numbers only), or, if there were even just a small subset of challenging problems/solutions (5-7 for each chapter to capture the key concepts). This would make this text MUCH more valuable to me as a self-learner. I’m a “hand’s on” learner. Almost everything makes sense to me when I read a well-presented topic. However, when I attempt to apply what I’ve learned, I often realize my understanding was inadequate. So working problems and being able to check solutions is absolutely critical to my learning. Add some problems with solutions and this book would be 5-star.

⭐I had been searching for a good DSP reference book, when I found Understanding Digital Signal Processing 3rd ed. in Amazon. The reviews regarding the 2nd ed. we’re positive, so I decided to get a copy.At the same time I was working on a software defined radio for the HF amateur bands. I had little knowledge of I and Q signals, analytic signals, Hilbert transforms – a lot of things that make single sideband modulation/demodulation possible in an SDR.This book, in addition to extensive coverage of FIR/IIR filtering and related topics, also covers complex/quadrature signals, upconversion/downconversion, Hilbert transform, sample rate conversion, polyphase filtering, etc. in a way that’s understandable and applicable. The math is there as one would expect, but then the author also explains things in a physical/real sense. I was able to learn these topics and actually apply them – the fact that I was able to make my SDR work is a testimony to the book.To summarize – if I need to brush up on a DSP topic, or learn something new, but then APPLY it, this book is an wonderful reference. If you’re considering this book, be sure and review the Table of Contents – there’s a lot in this book. The Processing Tricks section has been very helpful as well. I can highly recommend this book.

⭐My review is based on the second edition. I’ve been using this book for the last four (4) years. I wish i’d purchased it ten (10) years ago.Core DSP concepts are made clear and intuitive. Lyons’ pedagogical style is comparable to Steven Smith’s introductory book (

⭐, also freely distributed online at author’s Web site). Math is used only when needed and generally kept to a minimum—a refreshing approach for such a technical topic.This book, along maybe with

⭐, should form a good basis for conceptually understanding the fundamentals and beyond, so that upper undergraduate and graduate courses on DSP become more enjoyable. Lyons’ clarity is uncommon. The breadth of the book is also commendable.The book is not a substitute for the classic texts on DSP (Proakis, Oppenheim & Schafer, Manolakis) or Fourier theory (Bracewell, Papoulis); judging by his style, neither does the author make a pretense it is. Rather, this is a much needed attempt to gap the math–intuition gap so many of us have struggled with over their beginning DSP years. And a very successful one at that. Truly an exceptional and welcome addition to the DSP literature.

⭐Me and my colleagues share the same opinion. This is a very good book and even though it covers only basics of DSP it’s still worth having. I was dealing with DSP for some time and have been applying many algorithms / filters / transfer functions which I had not have a full understand. Thanks to this book my results became clear.I recommend this book.

⭐What else to say? Its the best book about DSP, especially for the beginners. Author is a natural born teacher.

⭐I think this is kind of a technical book that I just enjoy reading 🙂

⭐Happy and as expected, thank you

⭐This is a great quality textbook. It covers each topic with good depth. I find the explanations to be just about right. The problems at the end of each chapter add considerable value of the book.My only complaint is that you can’t look up the answers to the problems. I understand that many students would cheat if the answers were available, but it makes it harder this book for self study.
