Series Introduction
Over the past 50 years, digital signal processing has evolved as a major
engineering discipline. The fields of signal processing have g rown from the
origin of fast Fourier transform and digital filter design to statistical spectral
analysis and array processing, image, audio, and multimedia processing, and
shaped developments in high-performance VLSI signal processor design.
Indeed, there are few fields that enjoy so many applications—signal processing
is everywhere in our lives.
When one uses a cellular phone, the voice is compressed, coded, and
modulated using signal processing techniques. As a cr uise missile winds along
hillsides searching for the target, the signal processor is busy processing the
images taken along the way. When we are watching a movie in HDTV, millions
of audio and video data ar being sent to our homes and received with
unbelievable fidelity. When scientists compare DNA samples, fast pattern
recognition techniques are being used. On and on, one can see the impact of
signal processing in almost every engineering and scientific discipline.
