Multirate Signal Processing for Communication Systems

Summary: The "Zen" of Advanced Digital Signal Processing!
Review: Several years ago, my company hired Fred Harris as a consultant to help create an extremely complex multi-channel digital receiver. As it turned out, we could not have found a better candidate. Fred doesn't just offer state-of-the-art processing techniques - many of which he himself has developed - his pragmatic focus on efficiency and real-world implementation is truly refreshing.

This superb book delivers that same approach and philosophy in a very readable, approachable text. Unlike the vast majority of books in the field, which teach only the mathematics of signal processing, Fred teaches you what it really means, and how to make it work. You'll learn extremely efficient signal processing techniques, but even more importantly, you'll gain a much deeper understanding of digital communications that will change the way you approach systems design. From my perspective, this is quite simply the best book available for practitioners who are creating advanced digital communications systems.

Summary: If the figures were more professional, that will be better
Review: The content of this book is very attractive and helpful for both students and engineers.
I think if the figures were more professional, that would be better. They're so different from what I have read in other books, which spares me a long time to get used to.

Summary: The most valuable text ever for Multirate filters and DSP
Review: With excellent clarity, multirate filters are described, derived and then implemented. Any DSP filter designer will benefit from this book, advanced or not. Also, a series of proprietary filter structures have been 'donated' to the DSP community in this book, wherein some of the most effecient filter structures I've ever seen are explained and implemented.
