Product Description

Based on the authors’ research in Fourier analysis, Brief Notes in Advanced DSP: Fourier Analysis with MATLAB^® addresses many concepts and applications of digital signal processing (DSP). The included MATLAB^® codes illustrate how to apply the ideas in practice.

The book begins with the basic concept of the discrete Fourier transformation and its properties. It then describes lifting schemes, integer transformations, the discrete cosine transform, and the paired transform method for calculating the discrete Hadamard transform. The text also examines the decomposition of the 1-D signal by so-called section basis signals as well as new forms of 2-D signal/image representation and decomposition by direction signals/images. Focusing on Fourier transform wavelets and Givens–Haar transforms, the last chapter discusses the problem of signal multiresolution.

This book presents numerous interesting problems and concepts of unitary transformations, such as the Fourier, Hadamard, Hartley, Haar, paired, cosine, and new signal-induced transformations. It aids readers in using new forms and methods of signals and images in the frequency and frequency-and-time domains.

Great book for beginner's with DSP theory background.
I took Professor Singh's DSP programming class at San Jose State University using his lecture notes (book store printed copy) from which this book is based.The class was excellent, the notes were great, and I learned a lot.

You need some basic DSP theory background (FIR/IIR filters, FFT algorithm, decimators/interpolators, sampling, quantization, etc.) to get the most from this book.Some of the main topics he covers are:TI 'C54x DSP processor architecture and memory map, mnemonic intruction set (assembly language), pipelines, setting up and programming peripheral devices (A/D-D/A converter, DMA).And lastly, he includes assembly code examples and homework problems for DSP applications.

SOME CRITIQUES:

1.You can find all the information contained in this book from TI's manuals, tutorials, and application notes.But, the strength of this book lies in combining all that information in one place in a manner that is neither too high (so general that you can't implement anything practical), nor too low (so much detail that you get lost).Great for a beginner who needs to crossover from theory to practice.

2.This book's focus is on the hardware bit/register level in assembly language; great when you need to program a really time-critical section of code but not recommended to immplement an entire system in.That's the purpose of C/C++ and real-time operating systems of which Professor Singh makes no mention.

3.I thumbed through the book at the bookstore yesterday and noticed that a CD for the code examples wasn't included.A definite drag to type all that in.Maybe he has a website for download.I'm not sure though.

4.You need to buy or have access to the 'C54x DSK board.I bought mine from TI's website for $395.I'm really happy with it.TI has plenty of documentation and good online tutorials.The software design environment, debugging/analysis tools, and RTOS that comes with it are excellent.

5.Finally, I want to say that a few sections of the book could use expanding upon.For example, I thought his explanation of interrupts could have been better.All in all though, for a solid place to get your feet wet and armed with supplemental reading material, I highly recommend this book! ...

Product Description
Dealing with digital filtering methods for 1-D and 2-D signals, this book provides the theoretical background in signal processing, covering topics such as the z-transform, Shannon sampling theorem and fast Fourier transform. An entire chapter is devoted to the design of time-continuous filters which provides a useful preliminary step for analog-to-digital filter conversion.
Attention is also given to the main methods of designing finite impulse response (FIR) and infinite impulse response (IIR) filters. Bi-dimensional digital filtering (image filtering) is investigated and a study on stability analysis, a very useful tool when implementing IIR filters, is also carried out. As such, it will provide a practical and useful guide to those engaged in signal processing. ... Read more

Product Description
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the subject of channel coding. It starts with a description of information theory, focusing on the quantitative measurement of information and introducing two fundamental theorems on source and channel coding. The basics of channel coding in two chapters, block codes and convolutional codes, are then discussed, and for these the authors introduce weighted input and output decoding algorithms and recursive systematic convolutional codes, which are used in the rest of the book.

Trellis coded modulations, which have their primary applications in high spectral efficiency transmissions, are then covered, before the discussion moves on to an advanced coding technique called turbocoding. These codes, invented in the 1990s by C. Berrou and A. Glavieux, show exceptional performance. The differences between convolutional turbocodes and block turbocodes are outlined, and for each family, the authors present the coding and decoding techniques, together with their performances. The book concludes with a chapter on the implementation of turbocodes in circuits.

As such, anyone involved in the areas of channel coding and error correcting coding will find this book to be of invaluable assistance. ... Read more

Engineering Text for Non-Engineers
While written to be a text book for a non-engineering Appropriate Technology course, the book provides both the formulas needed to build these systems along with a simple enough description of them to allow their operation and construction to be understood by non-engineers.
Hits the rare middle ground with enough info to do it, without being too theoretical to be readable.

Product Description
This book puts the spotlight on how a real-time kernel works. Using Micrium's uC/OS-III as a reference, the book consists of two complete parts. The first describes real-time kernels in generic terms. Part II provides examples to the reader, using STMicroelectronics' STM32F107 microcontroller, based on the popular ARM Cortex-M3 architecture. A companion evaluation board (uC/Eval-STM32F107) NOT INCLUDED, and tools (IAR Systems Embedded Workbench for ARM), enable the reader to be up and running quickly, and have an amazing hands-on experience, leading to a high level of proficiency. This book is written for serious embedded systems programmers, consultants, hobbyists, and students interested in understanding the inner workings of a real-time kernel. uC/OS-III is not just a great learning platform, but also a full commercial-grade software package, ready to be part of a wide range of products. uC/OS-III is a highly portable, ROMable, scalable, preemptive real-time, multitasking kernel designed specifically to address the demanding requirements of today's embedded systems. uC/OS-III is the successor to the highly popular uC/OS-II real-time kernel but can use most of uC/OS-II's ports with minor modifi cations. Some of the features of uC/OS-III are: Preemptive multitasking with round-robin scheduling of tasks at the same priority Supports an unlimited number of tasks and other kernel objects Rich set of services: semaphores, mutual exclusion semaphores with full priority inheritance, event flags, message queues, timers, fixed-size memory block management, and more Built-in performance measurements ...

Micrium uC/OS-III - The Real-Time Kernel, STM32 Version
For the last 8 years, I've been using the author's uC/OS-II text to teach a class about the internals and usage of real-time operating systems. This uC/OS-III book is an update of his earlier text.

Most real-time kernels come with many features, but very few documents, texts, or otherwise, actually tell you how or when to use these features. Many beginners try to use all of the features and find themselves fighting a battle of what, why, and how to incorporate them. This updated revision of the text gives a better overview of how and when to use the features - something really missing from the uC/OS-II book.

The OS itself has been updated, and several new features have been added to make the OS calls a little more consistent with each other.Very useful features include semaphores and queues are now an integral part of each task and thus run faster - and don't need to be set up separately. These are features which improve the performance of this version and simplify the design of the system.

The best part of the new text and OS is that it has been ported to several chip evaluation boards which are available for purchase. I got the one which runs the STM32 ARM M3 Cortex evaluation board. The instructions are clear, everything runs by following the directions, and the compiler, debugger are both available for download in a non-time limited version.The examples compiled the first time and "ran right out of the box".

Very highly recommended.

Beware
I bought this book in the hope of looking at the newly updated version of the source (from reading the book's description at Amazon).However, it is not available, unless you are willing to pay $9,999.That renders the book as a reference manual, which is essentially useless; plus the evaluation board is just a toy.Since ucos-ii was available in source code, I seriously doubt the author's intent of publishing such a heftily priced book.If you want to learn an RTOS, take a look at something else, such as VxWorks, which is widely accepted and well documented.Yes, I will return the book, along with the evaluation board, which is still sealed.

Outstanding reference
If you use the uC/OS-III ("micro see oh ess three") real time operating system, this book is compulsory. It's the only reference that covers all features of the 2009 release of this popular RTOS. Unlike some other "only references" on their subjects, I find this one well-written, well-organized, and easy to use. Roughly the first half of the book explains the OS operation in extraordinary detail. This isn't an OS for naïve users. It comes in source form, for embedded system developers who need to port it to novel processors and who need to understand every instruction when the debugging turns ugly. The text supports those developers well, explaining the intent and usage of all the major OS subsystems. Appendices in the second half of this massive book present the programmers' reference, including configuration controls. Embedded systems are as different from each other as your car's airbags are from your cell phone, so these options let you include all and only the features needed for the application at hand - an important way to reduce ROM requirements in cost-critical applications. The last 150 pages walk the user through examples based on Micrium's eval board. As a reference, I fault this book only for its maddeningly brief index - but weaknesses there are largely made up for in the detailed (15 page) table of contents.

I'm not creating embedded systems right now, though. I'm teaching an OS course, one where the students will appreciate a concentration on real-time and embedded systems. This makes a great secondary reference for that class, as a case study in what an industrial-strength RTOS looks like. Best of all, it deals with the OS source, sometimes line by line. That gives students a much more realistic idea of what a task control block is than some handwaving about "all the information the OS needs."

If you need this, as an industrial practitioner, you need it. But, even for people just learning about operating systems, this makes a great backup to broader, more theoretical texts like Silberschatz or Tanenbaum. It gives the solid feel of reality to concepts that might seem vague until you see them in practice.

A Great Book About a Great RTOS
The MicroC/OS (a.k.a., uC/OS) family of real-time operating systems (RTOSes) has ranked in the Top 5 commercial operating systems for embedded software development in each of the past several years.This is because MicroC/OS offers a large value relative to its small price.Whereas other Top 5 embedded operating systems, including Microsoft's Windows CE/Mobile and Wind River's VxWorks, have per-unit licensing royalties and fees of tens of thousands of dollars per developer seat, MicroC/OS is royalty free, and has a total licensing fee less than one seat of those others.MicroC/OS even comes with C language source code and top-notch technical support.

This new book, by MicroC/OS creator Jean Labrosse, explains the design and API of the third generation uC/OS-III RTOS.This edition of the book adds a helpful focus on the design of application tasks that run on top of the RTOS; after all, you don't need to know how to write an RTOS; rather you need to use one.And this edition comes with an ARM-Cortex circuit board, compiler, and debugger so you can start experimenting with the RTOS right out of the box!All of that helps make the book a good value for money, just like the RTOS.

Users of uC/OS-II should note that the uC/OS-III API differs from the older API.In a nutshell, the API has been cleaned up for better internal consistency as well as to make the RTOS easier to use.

My Standard RTOS Reference Text
Although I'm not a programmer and haven't read the book in it's entirety, I've had a copy of the previous version on my bookshelf for years. Not the same copy, mind you, as I always gave it to someone considering using an RTOS. I personally use it as a reference text and refer to it as a system architect to help me understand the operation of real time systems (I've been doing high performance computing systems for many years and often use uCOS).

Version III has clear improvements based on customer feedback, yet retains the ease of use and readability of the previous version. If you're considering using an RTOS for the first time, buy this book. If you've been using an RTOS and need a better understanding of how it works, buy this book.

Or stop by my office and I'll give you my copy. ... Read more

Fairly good choice
I own a cassette with the praying of the Rosary but I wanted a cd. This cd has the prayers but it doesn't have any songs (like the cassette version done by other priests and nuns) in between each decade. I was hoping for that. It's suitable for anyone who only wants to hear the Prayers of the Rosary.

Best Rosary CD!!!
I've heard a lot of rosary CD's but this one is the very best by far. I bought one for myself and then I've been buying them for many people wanted one or that don't know how to say the rosary and would like to learn. The rosary is a very powerful tool against evil. Miracles happen through praying the rosary every day. You'll never know until you try it. Thanks, Amazon for the best rosary CD out there. I use it every day.

Beautiful Voices & No Droning Here!
At the end of each mystery, the sisters sing a beautiful song. My favorite is "Mary did you know?" Beautiful voices and wonderful reflections! I would also add that the sisters do not 'drone on' as often found on other rosary cds. They have a beautiful inflection to their voices, so it doesn't sound like you are listening to robots.

Wonderful way to Say The Rosary.
I highly recommend this CD.It is a wonderful way to pay tribute
