HIS book is intended to be used by students, educators, and working engineers who
need a straightforward, practical background in real-time digital signal processing
(DSP). In the past, there has been a formidable “gap” between theory and practice with
regard to real-time DSP. This book bridges that gap using methods proven by the authors.
The book is organized into three sections: Enduring Fundamentals (9 chapters), Projects
(10 chapters), and Appendices (6 chapters). The CD-ROM that accompanies this book
includes all necessary source code, along with additional information and tutorial material
to help the reader master real-time DSP.
