The Application of Programmable Dsps in Mobile Communications

Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) are unique microprocessors that are programmable and operate in real time - much faster than general-purpose microprocessors. They are particularly well suited to handling the demands of processing information and are used in 70% of the world's digital cellular phones. The book brings together the broad, rapidly expanding field of DSP based applications for the mobile communications market, providing coverage many applications, such as the modem application for cellular communications, as well as user interface applications such as speech, video, security, recognition, etc. It will also include a discussion of the historical and future developments of DSPs, giving the reader a perspective on why DSPs are used in mobile communications and the challenges to their future use. First book to cover DSP based applications in mobile communications Includes many applications of DSPs, including speech, video, security, recognition Covers the historical and future development of DSPs for these applications Authored by the industry leaders in DSP based applications A valuable, leading edge resource for engineers and researchers working in wireless cellular communications.
