529.0. "Signal processing - HELP" by MUNCSS::FORST () Fri Jul 04 1986 09:19

    Looking for a good and comprehensive text book on signal
    processing. Level: As a Ph.d. holder in sol. stat. phys.
    i have a good general knowl. of math. but not too much experience
    in signal processing. If anyone could provide a title this would
    be great.  Thank's in advance

    You don't mention whether you want an emphasis on digital signal
    processing, or if you need much information on stochastic processes,
    image processing, adaptive filtering, etc.

    The book "Signal Analysis" by A. Papoulis, McGraw Hill, has an overall
    coverage of the subject, including some digital, and some random
    variables.

    Some other books I'm familiar with are

	"The Fourier Integral and its Applications"
	R. N. Bracewell, McGraw Hill - very good introduction to the
	Fourier integral.

	"Digital Signal Processing", Oppenheim and Schafer, Prentiss Hall -
	One of the standard texts on digital signal processing.

	"Digital Filters", R. W. Hamming, Prentiss Hall -
	A very nice basic introduction to the subject.

	"Frequency Analysis", available from Bruel and Kjaer -
	Worth getting, its publshed by the well known B & K
	instrumentation company and should be available as a freebie.

    None of the above books will please the rigorous Lemma-Theorem-Proof
    crowd, but all have solid information you can use for actually doing
    things with signals.  If you have a solid background in complex then
    you're ahead of the game, since all the various transform techniques
    can be understood with much less arm waving with it.

    There are zillions of books and papers in this area, so perhaps the best
    is to go to a university library and browse.
