This book provides an introduction to modern methods of discrete-time and discrete-frequency signal analysis and design, which are rapidly becoming an important approach in electronics projects. It helps experimenters, radio engineers and students to move beyond traditional continuous-signal pencil-and-paper methods.

Designed for classroom learning as well as individual at-home study, the book employs undergraduate-level mathematics. It's written in an easy-to-follow, conversational style, with occasional re-examination and reinforcement of important basic concepts.

Contents:

• First Principles, including the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT)
  
• Sine, Cosine, and Theta
  
• Spectral Leakage and Aliasing
  
• Smoothing and Windowing
  
• Multiplication and Convolution
  
• Probability and Correlation
  
• Power Spectrum
  
• Hilbert Transform
  
• Appendix: Discrete Derivatives and Differential Equations

CD-ROM Included!
The book’s CD ROM provides a complete, unabridged copy of the world-famous and very sophisticated Mathcad Program, version 14.0, which has no time limitation for its use. The book includes many complete and fully explained examples, using Mathcad’s Worksheets and excellent graph-plotting capabilities. This software will be permanently available to the owner for a very wide range of applied-math calculations.
