About the Book: Practical Signal Processing and Its Applications
This textbook gives a fresh approach to an introductory course in signal
processing. Its unique feature is to alternate chapters on continuous-time
(analogies) and discrete-time (digital) signal processing concepts in a parallel
and synchronized manner. This presentation style helps readers to realize and
understand the close relationships between continuous and discrete time signal
processing, and lays a solid foundation for the study of practical applications
such as the analysis and design of analogies and digital filters. The compendium
provides motivation and necessary mathematical rigor. It generalizes the Fourier
transform to Laplace and Z transforms, applies these transforms to
