Series IntroductionOver the past 50 years, digital signal processing has evolved as a majorengineering discipline. The fields <strong>of</strong> signal processing have grown from theorigin <strong>of</strong> fast Fourier transform <strong>and</strong> digital filter design to statistical spectralanalysis <strong>and</strong> array processing, image, audio, <strong>and</strong> multimedia processing, <strong>and</strong>shaped developments in high-performance VLSI signal processor design.Indeed, there are few fields that enjoy so many applications—signal processingis everywhere in our lives.When one uses a cellular phone, the voice is compressed, coded, <strong>and</strong>modulated using signal processing techniques. As a cruise missile winds alonghillsides searching for the target, the signal processor is busy processing theimages taken along the way. When we are watching a movie in HDTV, millions<strong>of</strong> audio <strong>and</strong> video data ar being sent to our homes <strong>and</strong> received withunbelievable fidelity. When scientists compare DNA samples, fast patternrecognition techniques are being used. On <strong>and</strong> on, one can see the impact <strong>of</strong>signal processing in almost every engineering <strong>and</strong> scientific discipline.Copyright © 2002 by Marcel Dekker, Inc.
