DSP applications in the consumer market, such as bioinformatics, the MP3 audio format, and MPEG-based cable/satellite television have fueled a desire to understand this technology outside of hardware circles. Designed for upper division engineering and computer science students as well as practicing engineers, Digital Signal Processing Using Matlab and Wavelets emphasizes the practical applications of signal processing. Over 100 Matlab projects and wavelet techniques provide the latest applications of DSP, including image processing, games, filters, transforms, networking, parallel processing, and sound. The book also provides the mathematical processes and techniques needed to ensure an understanding of DSP theory. Designed to be incremental in difficulty, the book will benefit readers who are unfamiliar with complex mathematical topics or those limited in programming experience. filters, sinusoids, sampling, the Fourier transform, the Z transform and other key topics. An entire chapter is dedicated to the discussion of wavelets and their applications. A CD-ROM (platform independent) accompanies the book and contains source code, projects, and Microsoft[registered] PowerPoint slides.

    In covering the fundamentals of electricity and electronics, this text focuses on essential topics for the technician and the all-important development of troubleshooting skills. This highly practical approach combines clear, carefully-laid-out explanations of key topics with worked-out examples and problems to solve. Review problems that follow each section reinforce material just completed making this a very student-friendly text. It provides the student with complete, comprehensive coverage of all of the fundamental concepts of DC and AC circuit theory.This first edition combines the tried and true "Grob's Basic Electronics" with more specific study in DC/AC Circuitry. For the first time, instructors can choose between "Grob's Basic Electronics 10th edition," with its additional coverage of devices or this new, concise "Fundamentals of DC/AC Circuits." The focus on absolutely essential knowledge for technicians, including troubleshooting failed circuitry, keeps this book completely practical.

    Signals and Systems Demystified offers an effective, illuminating, and entertaining way to learn this essential electrical engineering subject.First, you'll learn methods used to calculate energy and power in signals. Next, you'll study signals in the frequency domain using Fourier analysis. Other topics covered include amplitude, frequency, and phase modulation, spectral analysis, convolution, the Laplace transform, and the z-transform. Packed with hundreds of sample equations and explained solutions, and featuring end-of-chapter quizzes and a final exam, this book will teach you the fundamentals of signals and systems in no time at all.Simple enough for a beginner, but challenging enough for an advanced student, Signals and Systems Demystified is your shortcut to mastering this complex subject.This hands-on, self-teaching text offers:An easy way to understand signal processing and systemsHundreds of worked examples with solutionsA quiz at the end of each chapter to reinforce learning and pinpoint weaknessesA final exam at the end of the bookNo unnecessary technical jargonA time-saving approach to performing better on an exam or at work!

    It is supplemented by a vast number of end-of-chapter problems such as worked examples, drill exercises, and application oriented problems that require the use of computational resources such as MATLAB. Also, many figures have been included to help grasp and visualize critical concepts. Results are tabulated and summarized for easy reference and access. The text also provides a broader perspective to the content by introducing useful applications and additional special topics in each chapter. These form the background for more advanced graduate courses.
