Digital Filters (Dover Civil and Mechanical Engineering)

EXCELENT QUALITY, PROMPT DELIVERY. THANK YOU SO MUCH !

I needed this book to refresh some material related to personal research I am involved with and possibly an upcoming book I am planning tying up my work. The author is VERY CLEAR, WELL ORGANIZED and DOESN'T BORE with tons of nitty-gritty details so as to intimidate the reader in his presentation of the subject matter. It clearly shows the author is a person who actually worked in the industry with applications of digital filtering and signal processing rather than just some PhD person who never left the classroom.

The author needs no introduction as filters and metrics bear his name. The book is a must for anyone who needs to trace the origin of various concepts. Sometimes older books contain that vital piece of information you might miss out on in "streamlined" treatments! And for this price, what are you waiting for?

A nice little introductory text for beginners by one of the greats of (source) coding theory, oriented towards Computer Science majors not Electronic and Computer Engineering majors. Hardware implementers and professional filter designers need to look elsewhere.

This is more of a bug report, not a review of the contents. I will remove or update when fixed.The kindle version of this book is not usable. The mathematical formulas are not readable. (yes I tried many devices and the desktop reader, the problem really is that the formulas have been scanned at so low resolution that some of the busier ones are unreadable) (also yes, I checked for updates, none available)Let me know if you want screenshots as proof. For now I have to recommend that you do not order the Kindle edition.

I love the way the information is presented, in a smart and logical manner.

Hamming famously said, "The purpose of computing is insight, not numbers." This book follows that philosophy: it's a clear, step-by-step development of simple FIR filters, which will make that part of the digital filtering world accessible to almost anyone. It's at about a second-year undergraduate level, very suitable for self-teaching, and contains lots of lore that will help keep you out of trouble.My only complaint is that it doesn't even dip a toe into recursive filters or optimal FIR filters, so that it is far from a complete treatment. If you're new to digital filtering, especially if you don't have an electrical engineering background, this is your book.

Some years ago(!) Hamming held a seminar/workshop which I attended. This book was the handout. As I remember, he said that this book was a result of teaching students at the Naval Post Graduate School where he found that the students were smart/bright/quick, but just rusty on their math. As a result, the book is not intended for the same audience as Oppenheim and Schaffer.One item that appears to be unique is Hamming's short piece on differentiating filters (the noise increases with frequency when the signal is differentiated, and practical application typically is not interested in the higher frequencies).This is not a cookbook for implementing digital filters. It is a good book for developing insight into the math and development of the basic dsp filter. I still pull it out to look up something, from time-to-time.

The author contributed so much in stated the terminology used today. Also, the use cases, to much repeated afterward by others, are here for the first time introduced. Very refreshing reading all these.

La editorial Dover se especializa, entre otras cosas, en la reimpresión de libros clásicos de ingeniería y ciencia. Es un libro que hace comprensible. los conceptos básicos de filtros digitales, uno de los mejores que he visto. Le doy 4 estrellas porque (como es normal debido a la época en que fue escrito) no utiliza paquetes de software actuales (MATLAB-SIMULINK y otros) y metodologías modernas. Que Hamming, cuya trayectoria vital fue impresionante en el campo de la ciencia e ingeniería, me perdone por no darle las 5 estrellas....

Good

Das Buch ist sehr gut geschrieben und bietet einen einfachen Einstieg in das Thema "digitale Filter" . Also. auch von mir fünf Sterne.

Clearly written. Any one who needs to understand digital filters must read this book. Gives different view for understanding digital filters.
