A practical guide to using the TMS320C31 DSP Starter KitWith applications and demand for high-performing digital signal processors expanding rapidly, it is becoming increasingly important for today's students and practicing engineers to master real-time digital signal processing (DSP) techniques.Digital Signal Processing: Laboratory Experiments Using C and the TMS320C31 DSK offers users a practical-and economicalm-approach to understanding DSP principles, designs, and applications. Demonstrating Texas Instruments' (TI) state-of-the-art, low-priced DSP Starter Kit (DSK), this book clearly illustrates and integrates practical aspects of real-time DSP implementation techniques and complex DSP concepts into lab exercises and experiments. TI's TMS320C31 digital signal processor provides substantial performance benefits for designs that have floating-point capabilities supported by high-level language compilers.Most chapters begin with a theoretical discussion followed by representative examples. With numerous programming examples using TMS320C3x and C code included on disk, this easy-to-read text: * Covers DSK tools, the architecture, and instructions for the TMS320C31 processor * Illustrates input and output * Introduces the z-transform * Discusses finite impulse response (FIR) filters, including the effect of window functions * Covers infinite impulse response (IIR) filters * Discusses the development and implementation of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) * Examines utility of adaptive filters for different applicationsBridging the gap between theory and application, this book furnishes a solid foundation for DSP lab or project design courses for students and serves as a welcome, practically oriented tutorial in the latest DSP techniques for working professionals.
