Advanced Digital Signal Processing and Noise Reduction
Chapter One
Introduction
Signal processing is concerned with the efficient and accurate modelling, extraction, communication and
utilisation of information, patterns and structures in a signal process.
Signal processing provides the theory, the methods and the tools for such purposes as the analysis and
modelling of signals, extraction of information from signals, classification and recognition of patterns,
synthesis and morphing of signals - morphing is the creation of a new voice or image out of existing
samples.
The applications of signal processing methods are very wide and include hi-fi audio, TV and radio,
cellular mobile phones, voice recognition, vision, antenna-arrays, radar, sonar, geophysical exploration,
medical electronics, bio-medical signal processing, physics and generally any system that is concerned
with the communication or processing and retrieval of information. Signal processing plays a central role
in the development of new generations of mobile telecommunication and intelligent automation systems
and in the efficien ... read full excerpt from Advanced Digital Signal Processing and Noise Reduction ebook
