Dear bismillah,
I will advise you to read Digital Signal Processing by John G. Proakis to build your foundation and atleast learn Z, Fourier Transformations, Sampling and Filter Desgin.

-Regards

hello there ,

i have a similar quistion :

beside reading intoductory books and required general knoledge ..
how can i start testing DSP based projects ?

i mean to say .. i have some very basic experience on PIC controllers.
on them, i write my code in mplab, then i debug in software as much as possible,
then i download it on a bread-board-stationed PIC chip to test on my real (though small)
project. if every thing works fine, i finalize my project.

how can i do these , or similar to these , steps on a DSP where one , i.e AD's Blackfin,
has usually more than 170 leges in BGA form ? i hope you understand my question.

is it possible at all to experiment with such high-numbered pin devices at home ?

i am new ( like brand new ) to DSPs but i am sure i can do the job.
please guide me.

regards

digital signal processing local author book

Hi, build your fundamentals! Also download octave (www.octave.org), as s/w same as matlab, and start using it for realizing small concepts. This will give more insight of the subject and build your interest.

Read understanding digital signal processing by richard lyons. this is very simple book giving you strong fundamentals. then start over wth proakis which is more mathematical.

Added after 20 minutes:

Hi IanP the link h**p://www.sgcworld.com/ftp/Books/dsp.pdf
is not working.

Hi

I think S.K Mitra's book is quite handy for begginers in DSP. Book title is 'Digital Signal Processing-A computer based approach'. There are six chapters available in this forum. go to the link and download the chapters. After learning first 4 chapters you will have a quite good understanding related to DSP.

octave dsp

Hi,
There are quiet a few books on DSP but u need to know the basics to start of any book. I would recommend "Signals and Systems " by Alan V. Oppenheim . This gives a good start to understand signal processing.
Then if you start DSP by Proakis gives he would go into the depths introducing you to advanced concepts.

Regards,
KJN

Hi, bismillah

MATLAB is a great tool in assisting you in learning DSP. It has a lot of built-in functions for signal processing. Mayb you can get a DSP-MATLAB reference book. Then, you can get a better idea of DSP.

Re: New to DSP

Discrete-time Signal Processing by Oppenheim is a really good book if you want to learn more about DSP. I used it in one of my classes last semester.

Re: New to DSP

Hi

What I'm interested is the actual use of a DSP board.
I already know about Fourier and La Place and those other topics that you find in a DSP text.

However when it comes to programming and implementation I'm at a dead end.
Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can find some sort of info on how to set up the board, make the connections and actually USE the software.

As in PRACTICAL info, not theory. The website for the board provides code and stuff but I need to know what to do with it...how to actually start putting it to use.

Please Help.
