Digital Filters

Summary: Give a good insights on DSP
Review: Dr. Hamming explains about aliasing just by using cos and sin
relation, without using any transform domain concept which is
a typical explanation method in most books.
His explanation about frequency resolution also fascinates me.

Summary: Very Clear But Limited In Scope
Review: Hamming famously said, "The purpose of computing is insight, not numbers." This book follows that philosophy: it's a clear, step-by-step development of simple FIR filters, which will make that part of the digital filtering world accessible to almost anyone. It's at about a third-year undergraduate level, very suitable for self-teaching, and contains lots of lore that will help keep you out of trouble.

My only complaint is that it doesn't even dip a toe into recursive filters or optimal FIR filters, so that it is far from a complete treatment. If you're new to digital filtering, especially if you don't have an electrical engineering background, this is your book.

Summary: No need to explain how good it is. It is classics.
Review: This book introduces major concepts of digital filters. The author starts with the basics (why should we care about digital filters) and ends up with quite complicated things such as recursive filters. This is an excellent book on introductory/intermediate level. In a short, concise form it explains everything what an average engineer/scientist/student who is not involved into professional development of digital filters needs to know about them. What I liked most about this book is that the presentation of the material is very self-consistent. R.W.Hamming starts with the simplest things and proceeds to the next section only when everything what the reader will need in the following is explained. I think, its an excellent buy, especially for this price.

Summary: Book Review
Review: This is a great book for some who is more into the theory and not applications in digital filters. The examples are simplistic. If you are looking for a book in practical applications, this is not the book for you.
