Understanding Digital Signal Processing, 3/e is simply the best practitioner's resource for mastering DSP technology. Richard Lyons has thoroughly updated and expanded his best-selling second edition, building on the exceptionally readable coverage that has made it a favorite of both professionals and students worldwide. Lyons achieves the perfect balance between practice and math, making DSP accessible to beginners without ever oversimplifying it, and offering systematic practical guidance for day-to-day problem-solving. Down-to-earth, intuitive, and example-rich, this book helps readers thoroughly grasp the basics and quickly move on to more sophisticated DSP techniques. Coverage includes: discrete sequences/systems, DFT, FFT, finite/infinite impulse response filters, quadrature (I/Q) processing, discrete Hilbert transforms, sample rate conversion, signal averaging, and much more. This edition adds extensive new coverage of FIR and IIR filter analysis techniques. The previous multirate processing, and binary number format, material has been significantly updated and expanded. It also provides new coverage of digital differentiators, integrators, and matched filters. Lyons has also doubled the number of DSP tips and tricks as in the previous edition including techniques even seasoned DSP professionals may have overlooked. He has also added end-of-chapter homework problems throughout to support college instruction and professional self-study.
  • Readable, intuitive, example-rich, and accurate: helps readers fully grasp the basics and quickly move on to sophisticated techniques
  • Includes extensive new coverage of FIR and IIR filter analysis, multirate processing, digital differentiators, integrators, matched filters, and much more
  • Now contains end-of-chapter problems to support college instruction and professional self-study
  • This classic and best seller digital signal processing book for practicing engineers has been updated to include the latest techniques making it an even more practical real-work DSP book, but its most significant change is the inclusion of end of chapter homework problems that will enable college and university instructors to adopt it as a textbook.
  • * Homework problems at the end of the chapters.

     * New material as indicated by the "(NEW)" marking in the below proposed TABLE OF CONTENTS.

    * Improve the material in the current UDSP, 2/e material by way of additional examples, figures, and explanations. 

    * Expansion of the current Chapter 13 ("Digital Signal Process Tricks") by roughly 35%.  (Chapter 13 of the current UDSP, 2/e book is arguably the most practical, and useful, single book chapter for working DSP engineers ever published.)
