Examining the full scope of digital signal processing in the biomedical field, this guide provides the basics of digital signal processing as well as C-language programs for designing and implementing simple digital filte The text provides a set of laboratory experiments that can be done using either an actual analog-to-digital converter or a virtual converter.In addition, the accompanying disk includes a special program_UW DigiScope_which provides an environment for conducting lab experiments, designing digital filters of different types, and visualizing the results of processing on the display.
