Summary: DSP with FPGAs
Review: "Digital Signal Processing with Field Programmable Gate Arrays" covers most of the popular DSP applications in good detail.
Before you buy this book I would highly recommend reading "Understanding DSP" by Rick Lyons. Once you understand the fundamentals of DSP this book will help you decide on the best implementation
of each algorithm using a step by step approach. The author also weighs up the pros and cons of each algorithm.

Summary: Barely connected with FPGA, Practical? No
Review: I was so disappointed after I read the book. I had expected to get some practical examples about implementing DSP in FPGA.I regret I was attracted by the name of the book and some reviews definitely not from sillicon valley . Except in chapter1"introduction" there lists some basic FPGA concepts, I hardly say how this book was named as "DSP with FPGA".
It does provide lots of mathemetical models, graphs for each DSP component, I believe it will be much more helpful to writing a PhD thesis rather than using as reference book in industry.
If you are expecting to get some practical examples about implementing DSP in FPGA, this book might not be a choice.

Summary: Excellent for DSP Implementations
Review: In this book Dr Meyer-Baese brings in his industrial/proffessional experience from the field of DSP using FPGAS. Lots of other FPGA/Hardware books just talk about the theoretical/concetual/abstract level DSP. Here the main focus is the practical implementation of the different DSP Components
everything from Multipliers to the Discrete Wavelet Trasform.
Each of these components are seperately discussed chapter-wise and is supplemented by applications and also source code in both VHDL and Verilog (mostly in the accompanying CD)
If you just want to know what an FFT is then this book is NOT for you,but if you want to implement this in hardware then this is THE book.
