CHAPTER 3 Discrete Revolution
Digital signal processing has taken over. First used in the 1950s at the service of analog signal processing to simulate analog transforms, digital algorithms have invaded most traditional fortresses, including phones, music recording, cameras, televisions, and all information processing. Analog computations performed with electronic circuits are faster than digital algorithms implemented with microprocessors but are less precise and less flexible. Thus, analog circuits are often replaced by digital chips once the computational performance of microprocessors is sufficient to operate in real time for a given application.
Whether sound recordings or images, most discrete signals are obtained by sampling an analog ...
