Preface

As early as the 1950s, designers of signal processing systems were using digital computers to simulate and test their designs. It didn’t take too long to realize that the digital algorithms developed to drive the simulations could be used to carry out the signal processing directly – and so the digital signal processor was born. With the incredible development of microprocessor chips over the last few decades, digital signal processing has become a hugely important topic. Speech synthesis and recognition, image and music enhancement, robot vision, pattern recognition, motor control, spectral analysis, anti-skid braking and global positioning are just a few of the diverse applications of digital signal processors.
