Abstract

This chapter is an introduction to digital signal processing (DSP) concepts used in the generation and analysis of auditory signals. It is not a mathematical exposition on DSP, but rather a qualitative description of the DSP techniques commonly used in the processing of audio signals. Readers should refer to the annotated bibliography for a more detailed coverage of specific DSP techniques.

Annotated Bibliography

  • R. Chassaing, “Digital Signal Processing with C and the TMS320C30,” Wiley, 1992. This book deals with many practical issues in implementing DSP systems. Source code for implementing commonly used DSP functions such as FFT and filtering is included as well as examples on interfacing to ADCs and DA Cs. The Texas Instruments TMS320C30 DSP chip is used for examples in this book.
