Understanding Digital Signal Processing by Richard G. Lyons. [Lyo97]
|
The name says it all. Using a clear, friendly writing style combined with numerous clear illustrations and worked-through examples, this already-classic book helps you really understand the difficult subject of DSP. It emphasizes an intuitive understanding of the subject, with a minimum of math. It also features a lot of good practical material you simply won't find in other DSP books. This book is something of a "best seller" among DSP books.

The Scientist and Engineer's and Guide to Digital Signal Processing by Steven W. Smith. [Smi97]
Practically a "Beginner's Encyclopedia of DSP", this book is a very comprehensive treatment of DSP fundamentals and also covers many related subjects. Like Understanding Digital Signal Processing, this book emphasizes an intuitive understanding of the subject, with a minimum of math. The full text is available online for free in "pdf" format
Digital Signal Processing and the Microcontroller by Dale Grover and John R. (Jack) Deller with illustrations by Jonathan Roth. [Gro98]
 |
Although it features the Motorola 68HC16 microcontroller, the true value of this book lies in its accessible and intuitive introduction to a wide variety of general DSP subjects. Like the Lyons and Smith books, this book de-emphasizes math, instead relying on common-sense explanations and illustrative figures. The tone is "engineer-to-engineer"--as if the reader is being taught by a friendly, experienced (and often funny!) mentor. This book treats a broad variety of DSP subjects, so some necessarily get covered only briefly. But beginners will appreciate its conciseness, and advanced DSP'ers will appreciate its breadth; both will find this book worth adding to their library.
