DISCTRET TIME SIGNAL PROCESSING by Alan V. Oppenheim, John R. Buck, Ronald W. Schafer

Discrete-Time Signal Processing  provides a comprehensive approach to discrete-time signal processing, and it is considered as an ideal reference book on the subject.

Summary Of The Book

Discrete-Time Signal Processing delves into the history of discrete-time signal processing as well as the latest developments in the field. In addition to discussing the current applications of the technology, it also covers the possibilities of future applications.

Concepts are explained lucidly and in great detail. Plenty of examples are provided to help the reader gain a thorough understanding of the subject.

Some of the topics covered include discrete-time signals and systems, the Z-transform, sampling of continuous-time signals, structures for discrete-time systems, filter design techniques, discrete Fourier transform, and discrete Hilbert transforms.

The book is ideal for advanced students of the subject as a strong foundation of several fundamental concepts is necessary. But as in-depth information is given in the book, beginners may find this book useful.
