Don't worry, it's not really a good teaching book. I was a student of the author when that book was just a pile of class notes! Exciting times, we couldn't wait to read every newly released DSP paper, but the resulting book was more of a reference manual then a teaching book. There is a lot going on in-between each line that should be elaborated on rather then assumed. It has been "over distilled" to its essence. And there are very few examples in it because the professor simply didn't know of any back then! It was the very early years of DSP .

Then this book may be of help: Steven W. Smith: The Scientist and Engineer's Guide to Digital Signal Processing You can download or browse the book and have a look into it before buying: http://dspguide.com/ bye Andreas -- Andreas H�nnebeck | email: acmh(a)gmx.de ----- privat ---- | www : http://www.huennebeck-online.de Fax/Anrufbeantworter: 0721/151-284301 GPG-Key: http://www.huennebeck-online.de/public_keys/andreas.asc PGP-Key: http://www.huennebeck-online.de/public_keys/pgp_andreas.asc

A lot of people get hung up fairly early in O&S by the section on inverting z-transforms using residues/contour integration. Skip that section, chances are you will never need it.

Skip that >section, chances are you will never need it. O&S was written at a time when few DSP systems were deployed, and most were large complex military systems. Its hardly surprising if some of the material seems to have a skewed balance today. Steve |
