For many years the course Digital Signal processing was offered as a postgraduate course with students required to have a background in telecommunications (spectral analysis), circuit theory and of course Mathematics. The course provided the foundation to do more advanced research in the field. Though this was very useful it did not provide all the necessary background that many industries required; to write efficient programs and to develop applications. In many institutions a simplified version of the postgraduate course has filtered into the undergraduate programme. In many cases that we have examined this course is a simplified version of the postgraduate course, it is very theoretical and does not pass the necessary tools to students that industry requires. This book is an attempt to bridge the gap. It is aimed at undergraduate students who have basic knowledge in C programming, Circuit Theory, Systems and Simulations, and Spectral Analysis. It is focused on basic concepts of digital signal processing, MATLAB simulation and implementation on selected DSP hardware.
