Aufl.}, year = {1997}, isbn = {3-540-61194-0}, edition = {2., erw. Aufl.}, pages = {xx, 500~S.}, publisher = {Berlin: Springer-Verlag}, abstract = {This is the second, enlarged edition (the first edition appeared in 1993). The main objective of the book is to show how to operate by using algorithms and simulation in the domain of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) dedicated to Data Transmission (DT). In order that the reader can get an idea of the topics included and of their extent, we list the table of contents: (1) Introduction (5 pag.); (2) Fundamentals of DSP (44 pag.); (3) Algorithms for DSP (230 pag.); (4) Realization in DSP (12 pag.); (5) Stages developed in DSP (10 pag.); Personal computer applications with MATLAB/SIMULINK and DSP/SIM (57 pag.); (7) Appendices (115 pag.); References (books, prospects, diploma projects); Index. The book is oriented towards the needs of students (in Communications or Electronics) and the practitioning engineer working in the same domain. So it provides: the main theoretical results, algorithms and simulation methods. The given algorithms, after a theoretical but concise description, are exposed in Pascal procedures which are, in the reviewer's opinion very clear and suggestive. The simulation procedures are based on MATLAB/SIMULINK. For this objective the authors have created a Toolbox for MATLAB on a diskette accompanying the book. The text is very clear, the graphics are excellent. Let us remark that the way of writing discrete signals is that of using parentheses, i.e. $x(n)$, instead of a widespread $x$ $n$. The reviewer adheres to the choice of the authors. As one can not give a more detailed description of the book in a short review, let us emphasize that all that is of importance in DSP can be found (sampling, undersampling, filtering, (de)modulation, Fast Fourier Transform, Hilbert Transform, and so on). Finally, the reviewer wants to point out that the book under review fully warrants the quality of a reference book for DSP in DT. It is highly recommended to publish an English version of this excellent book.}, reviewer = {D.Stanomir (Bucure\c{s}ti)}, identifier = {00944086}, }
