Signals interests me in general (top to bottom— including hard and softwares), and I'm trying to get around to deeper physics and maths study around it, but there's only so much time in a day.
If you have any other recommendations, I'll gladly hear them— there's a link to my contact in my profile.
- lb1lf 8y agoI've just spent a while looking for my old signal processing textbooks, but there was too much piled on top of them (I've moved house three times since I last worked with signal processing... :) I remember two introductory books which were quite good - Kamen/Heck's 'Signals and Systems' - tells you a bit about the tools of the trade, laplace and fourier transforms, transfer functions, filter design &c - the book was accompanied by a number of MatLab scripts which let you visualise how manipulating properties of a filter affected the output; most useful. Proakis & Manolakis' Digital Signal Processing was also quite good; both books assume you know your way around engineering mathematics - series, integrals mostly - but in particular Kamen/Heck I remember provoking quite a number of insights from the text alone. Again, the ARRL may be of some assistance - the radio amateur's handbook has a couple of chapters on the basics of filters, leaning very much against the applied end of things. I hear good things about Owen's Practical Signal Processing, too, but haven't studied it myself yet; as you say, there's only so much time in a day... Oh, and steer clear of anything with the phrase 'non-linear' anywhere in the title or blurb. Just don't go there.
