ISBN: 0130909998

Author: McClellan, James

Condition: New

For introductory courses (sophomore/junior) in Digital Signal Processing and Signals and Systems. Text may be used before the student has taken a course in circuits.For access to Instructor Resource Materials please visit:http://users.ece.gatech.edu/mcclella/SPFirst/Please contact your local Pearson Sales Representative for further information.This text is derived from DSP First: A Multimedia Approach, published in 1997, which filled an emerging need for a new entry-level course not centered on analog circuits in the ECE curriculum. It was also successfully used in 80 universities as a core text for linear systems and beginning signal processing courses. This derivative product, Signal Processing First [SPF] contains similar content and presentation style, but focuses on analog signal processing. Note: DSP First: A Multimedia Approach remains in print for those who choose a digital emphasis for their introductory course.

• Four new chapters on analog signal processing systems, plus many updates and enhancements. | Creative use of innovative, computer technology-Makes abstract content more accessible, enabling it to reach a wider range of students.
