Multirate Systems And Filter Banks Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Vaidyanathan's book is a very concise, yet enjoyable book on multirate systems and filter banks. Multirate systems and Filter banks represent some of the state-of-the-art research even today, and I'm a strong proponent of introducing the basic concepts as early as possible, even in the first DSP course.
Vaidyanathan is an engineer first, mathematician second. Note the difference between his approach and Mallat's approach, for example. He relies more on intuition albeit sometimes lacking purpose, which makes this book more readable for the engineers but hard to read cover to cover. This makes this book a very handy reference if you need to pick certain topics up in a hurry.
He also has a very nice, but very concise, review of basic DSP concepts and introduction of basic multirate system properties. However, the speed at which he covers this can be discouraging to some.
Some people would argue that his writing can be hard to read, and this is true sometimes. But his geometric interpretation of lattices and filter banks is more than worth the price of admission.
Nonetheless, I would still recommend this book to engineers interested in either learning about multirate systems and filter banks, or for a reference book.

Presenting general principles without bias towards specific application-oriented detail, this text offers a thorough, unified, and in-depth treatment of the techniques of multirate signal processing. It is the first book to cover the topics of digital filter banks, multidimensional multirate systems, and wavelet representations under one cover. This manual will be valuable to engineers working with applications of speech and image compression, digital audio, and statistical and adaptive signal processing.
