A practical guide to using the TMS320C31 DSP Starter Kit

With applications and demand for high-performing digital signalprocessors expanding rapidly, it is becoming increasingly importantfor today's students and practicing engineers to master real-timedigital signal processing (DSP) techniques.

Digital Signal Processing: Laboratory Experiments Using C and theTMS320C31 DSK offers users a practical--and economicalm--approachto understanding DSP principles, designs, and applications.Demonstrating Texas Instruments' (TI) state-of-the-art, low-pricedDSP Starter Kit (DSK), this book clearly illustrates and integratespractical aspects of real-time DSP implementation techniques andcomplex DSP concepts into lab exercises and experiments. TI'sTMS320C31 digital signal processor provides substantial performancebenefits for designs that have floating-point capabilitiessupported by high-level language compilers.

Most chapters begin with a theoretical discussion followed byrepresentative examples. With numerous programming examples usingTMS320C3x and C code included on disk, this easy-to-read text:
* Covers DSK tools, the architecture, and instructions for theTMS320C31 processor
* Illustrates input and output
* Introduces the z-transform
* Discusses finite impulse response (FIR) filters, including theeffect of window functions
* Covers infinite impulse response (IIR) filters
* Discusses the development and implementation of the fast Fouriertransform (FFT)
* Examines utility of adaptive filters for differentapplications

Bridging the gap between theory and application, this bookfurnishes a solid foundation for DSP lab or project design coursesfor students and serves as a welcome, practically oriented tutorialin the latest DSP techniques for working professionals.
