ANALOG AND DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING 2/E

Building on the success of the first edition, this popular text book has now been updated and revised. Covering both analog and digital signal processing techniques in an evenly balanced manner, Professor Baher provides an excellent introductory and comprehensive text emphasising how analog and digital techniques complement each other rather than compete.

Brings the entire area of signal processing within the scope of modern undergraduate curricula
Discusses topics such as spectral analysis of continuous and discrete signals (deterministic and random),

Fourier, Laplace, and z-transforms, analysis of continuous and discrete systems and circuits, design of analog and digital filters, fast Fourier transform algorithms and finite word-length effects in digital processors
Presents a final chapter on advanced signal processing (including linear estimation, adaptive filters, over-sampling sigma-delta converters, and wavelets) to encourage further interest
Contains numerous solved examples throughout and MATLAB(r) exercises at the end of each chapter

Written primarily for undergraduates, Analog Digital Signal Processing will also be an authoritative text for postgraduate students and professional engineers.

PROFESSOR H. BAHER obtained his Ph.D. in Electronic Engineering from University College Dublin and held academic positions at universities worldwide including University College Dublin, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, the Professorship of Electronic Engineering at Dublin City University, and the prestigious Analog Devices Professorship in Massachusetts, USA. He has published four books: Synthesis of Electrical Networks (Wiley, 1984), Selective Linear-phase Switched-capacitor and Digital Filters (Kluwer 1993), Microelectronic Switched-capacitor Filters: with ISICAP: a Computer-aided Design Package (Wiley, 1996), and the highly regarded first edition of the present book. He is a Chartered Engineer in Ireland and the UK and a Fellow of the IEI.

"I like this book and recommend it as an introduction for home use, students and software engineers." (CVu - Jnl of the Association of C C++ Users, October 2001)

"the book is excellent for postgraduates and those new to the field" (Times Higher Education Supplement - Textbook Guide, 30 November 2001)

"Irish engineer Baher thinks it is time to introduce some areas of signal processing into the undergraduate curriculum that have traditionally been reserved for graduates." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 25, No. 4, December 2001)

"this book provides a comprehensive yet concise discussion of the principles of analogue and digital signal processing ..... recommended to the determined student." (CVu February 2002)
