Introductory textbook on the fundamental concepts of continuous-time and discrete-time signals and systems, self-contained for independent or combined teaching approaches. Includes a CD-ROM containing MATLAB code and various signals. Contains worked examples, homework problems (solutions for instructors online) and extensive illustrations. Suitable for undergraduates in electrical and computer engineering.

The book provides an introduction to digital signal processing for intermediate level students of electronic and/or electrical engineering and is also relevant to other disciplines which deal with time-series analysis: these include acoustics, mathematics, statistics, psychology and economics.

Terminology and review - Elements of difference equations - The Z-transform - Fourier representation of sequences - Discrete-time system transfer functions - Infinite impulse response discrete-time filters - Finite impulse response discrete-time filters - Some implementation considerations.

In the past few years Biomedical Engineering has received a great deal of attention as one of the emerging technologies in the last decade and for years to come, as witnessed by the many books, conferences, and their proceedings. Media attention, due to the applications-oriented advances in Biomedical Engineering, has also increased. Much of the excitement comes from the fact that technology is rapidly changing and new technological adventures become available and feasible every day. For many years the physical sciences contributed to medicine in the form of expertise in radiology and slow but steady contributions to other more diverse fields, such as computers in surgery and diagnosis, neurology, cardiology, vision and visual prosthesis, audition and hearing aids, artificial limbs, biomechanics, and biomaterials. The list goes on. It is therefore hard for a person unfamiliar with a subject to separate the substance from the hype. Many of the applications of Biomedical Engineering are rather complex and difficult to understand even by the not so novice in the field. Much of the hardware and software tools available are either too simplistic to be useful or too complicated to be understood and applied. In addition, the lack of a common language between engineers and computer scientists and their counterparts in the medical profession, sometimes becomes a barrier to progress.
