E-raamat: Embedded Signal Processing with the Micro Signal Architecture

Gan (information engineering, Nanyang Technological U., Singapore) and Kuo (electrical engineering, Northern Illinois U.) introduce just-in-time and just-enough information on embedded signal processing using the embedded processors based on the micro signal architecture, taking as their example Blackfin processors from Analog Devices. Their goal is to provide graduate or undergraduate students of signal processing with enough essential theoretical and practical information that they can begin using the latest tools to design, simulate, and implement the algorithm for a given application.

This is a real-time digital signal processing textbook using the latest embedded Blackfin processor Analog Devices, Inc (ADI).  20% of the text is dedicated to general real-time signal processing principles.  The remaining text provides an overview of the Blackfin processor, its programming, applications, and hands-on exercises for users.  With all the practical examples given to expedite the learning development of Blackfin processors, the textbook doubles as a ready-to-use user's guide.   The book is based on a step-by-step approach in which readers are first introduced to the DSP systems and concepts.  Although, basic DSP concepts are introduced to allow easy referencing, readers are recommended to complete a basic course on "Signals and Systems" before attempting to use this book.  This is also the first textbook that illustrates graphical programming for embedded processor using the latest LabVIEW Embedded Module for the ADI Blackfin Processors. A solutions manual  is available for adopters of the book from the Wiley editorial department.
