Signals, Systems,Transforms, andDigital SignalProcessing withMATLAB®

Michael CorinthiosEcole Polytechnique de Montreal,Montreal, Canada

Signals, Systems, Transforms, and Digital SignalProcessing with MATLAB® has as its principal objec-tive simplification without compromise of rigor.Graphics, called by the author, "the language of sci-entists and engineers", physical interpretation of sub-tle mathematical concepts, and a gradual transitionfrom basic to more advanced topics are among theimportant contributions of this book.

After illustrating the analysis of a function through astep-by-step addition of harmonics, the book dealswith Fourier and Laplace transforms. It then coversdiscrete time signals and systems, the z transform,continuous- and discrete-time filters, active and pas-sive filters, lattice filters, and continuous- and discrete-time state space models.

The author goes on to discuss the Fourier transform ofsequences, the discrete Fourier transform, and the fastFourier transform, followed by Fourier-, Laplace, andz-related transforms, including Walsh–Hadamard,generalized Walsh, Hilbert, discrete cosine, Hartley,Hankel, Mellin, fractional Fourier, and wavelet. He alsosurveys the architecture and design of digital signalprocessors, computer architecture, logic design ofsequential circuits, and random signals. He concludeswith simplifying and demystifying the vital subject ofdistribution theory.

Drawing on much of the author’s own research work,this book expands the domains of existence of themost important transforms and thus opens the doorto a new world of applications using novel, powerfulmathematical tools.

Merughan Grigoryan

Based on the authors’ research in Fourier analysis,Brief Notes in Advanced DSP: Fourier Analysis withMATLAB® addresses many concepts and applicationsof digital signal processing (DSP). The included MAT-LAB® codes illustrate how to apply the ideas in prac-tice.

The book begins with the basic concept of the dis-crete Fourier transformation and its properties. It thendescribes lifting schemes, integer transformations, thediscrete cosine transform, and the paired transformmethod for calculating the discrete Hadamard trans-form. The text also examines the decomposition ofthe 1-D signal by so-called section basis signals as wellas new forms of 2-D signal/image representation anddecomposition by direction signals/images.

Focusing on Fourier transform wavelets andGivens–Haar transforms, the last chapter discusses theproblem of signal multiresolution.This text presentsnumerous interesting problems and concepts of uni-tary transformations, such as the Fourier, Hadamard,Hartley, Haar, paired, cosine, and new signal-inducedtransformations. It aids readers in using new formsand methods of signals and images in the frequencyand frequency-and-time domains.

Multi-CoreEmbeddedSystemsEdited by

Georgios KornarosTEI of Crete, Greece

Increasingly demanding modern applications—suchas those used in telecommunications networkingand real-time processing of audio, video, and multi-media streams—require multiple processors toachieve computational performance at the rate of afew giga-operations per second. This necessity forspeed and manageable power consumption makesit likely that the next generation of embedded pro-cessing systems will include hundreds of cores, whilebeing increasingly programmable, blending proces-sors and configurable hardware in a power-efficientmanner.

Multi-Core Embedded Systems presents a varietyof perspectives that elucidate the technical chal-lenges associated with such increased integration ofhomogeneous (processors) and heterogeneous mul-tiple cores. It offers an analysis that industry engi-neers and professionals will need to understand thephysical details of both software and hardware inembedded architectures, as well as their limitationsand potential for future growth.

The book begins with an overview of the evolutionof multiprocessor architectures for embedded appli-cations and discusses techniques for autonomouspower management of system-level parameters. Itaddresses the use of existing open-source (and free)tools originating from several application domains—such as traffic modeling, graph theory, parallel com-puting and network simulation.

This is a detailed discussion of research on the inter-action between multi-core systems, applications andsoftware views, and processor configuration andextension, which add a new dimension to the prob-lem space. The text offers a useful overview of themost widespread industrial and domain-specificsolutions, providing several examples of workingimplementations.

Applied SignalProcessingConcepts, Circuits,and SystemsNadder HamdyAAST, Alexandria, Egypt

Classical signal processing techniques are based pri-marily on the analog nature of all signals. However,the continuously improving performance of digital cir-cuitry and processors has prompted a switch to digi-tal signal processing techniques rather than the tradi-tional analog ones.

Applied Signal Processing recognizes the linkagebetween the two paradigms and presents a unifiedtreatment of both subjects (analog and digital signalprocessing) in one authoritative volume. It introducesunderlying principles, basic concepts, and definitionsas well as classic and contemporary designs of signalprocessing systems. The author includes a detaileddescription of data converters, an interface betweenthe real world of analog signals and the artificial worldof digital signals. He provides a concise presentationof topics by limiting the number of complex equa-tions and using lucid language. Numerous real-worldapplication examples are featured within each chapterincluding architectures from Texas Instruments,Motorola, and Analog Devices.

With its compounded coverage of both analog anddigital signal processing techniques, this book pro-vides engineers with the knowledge they need tounderstand the analog basis of modern digital signalprocessing techniques and construct architectures formodern systems.

Contents:

Analog Signal Processing. Analog Filter Design. DataConverters. Digital Signal Processing. Digital FilterDesign. Multi Rate Signal Processing. DiscreteTransforms. Digital Signal Processors. Digital SignalProcessing Systems.
