Review
From the reviews: "5 Stars: this book is well written and covers many of the aspects of DSP with FPGAs. I run a business that specializes exclusively in high performance DSP designs using FPGAs. This book pretty much covers it all, in fact it closely parallels the material we present in our DSP for FPGAs seminar. I very highly recommend this book." Ray Andraka of Andraka Consultants, N. Kingstown, RI "This second edition provides new material on the design of serial and array dividers, the description of a complete floating-point library, and adaptive filter design. Over 25 additional exercises as compared to the first edition are also included in the book. It is worth noting that there are two appendices on the Verilog source code … and furthermore a glossary of the abbreviations typical in the field are provided." (Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1050, 2005)
Book Description
A practical and fascinating book on a topic at the forefront of communications technology. Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are on the verge of revolutionizing digital signal processing. Novel FPGA families are replacing ASICs and PDSPs for front-end digital signal processing algorithms at an accelerating rate. The efficient implementation of these algorithms is the main goal of this book. It starts with an overview of today's FPGA technology, devices, and tools for designing state-of-the-art DSP systems. Each of the book’s chapter contains exercises. The VERILOG source code and a glossary are given in the appendices.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Nice Book, Shame about the CD-ROM!,
By
This review is from: Digital Signal Processing with Field Programmable Gate Arrays (Hardcover)
The book looks great at first glance, and the accompanying details about the enclosed CD-rom are fantastic. Best instructions I've ever seen. Too bad there's no CD. You have to download everything now from extras.springer.com, and on a dial-up connection 414Mb ought to have finished by the time I'm done reading the book cover to cover. Can't believe the publisher is doing this to save costs, since $113.68 ain't cheap.And amazon.ca should update its info to reflect this. The picture still shows the old cover with "CD-rom Included".

Errata for the 3rd ed. please... it is indispensable,
By JASA "JASA" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Digital Signal Processing with Field Programmable Gate Arrays (Hardcover)
From among the many books on DSP I own, I've chosen the 3rd. ed. of Dr. Meyer-Baese "DSP with FPGA", more precisely ch. 8 on "Adaptive Filters", to be the base of a module on adaptive filtering belonging to a DSP course that I teach at a University. The reason behind the choice was that, at first sight, the chapter seemed to have a good balance of conciseness and range of adaptive techniques presented.This means I read carefully ch. 8 and implemented in Scilab some of the adaptive algorithms. As a consequence, I also examined carefully the equations, mainly those on the Widrow-Hoff LMS and the RLS techniques. What I found was several handful of mistakes. From the silly ones (the definition of variance in p. 481 is E{(x-av)^2} instead of E{x^2}, as the average 'av' is not assumed as zero) to errors in vectors transposition in the differentiation of matrix-vector products (e.g. in the gradient definition, in the middle of page 483, there should be x[n] x^T[n] instead of x^T[n] x[n]) which, sometimes, by miracle appear correct in the next equations, and ending in the mess with the use of [n+1] or [n] indexes in many equations in the derivation of RLS algorithms in pages 518-521, the lack of exactness in the theoretical derivations converts what could be a very good presentation/tutorial chapter on the AF topic in, at times, a messy bunch of equations plagued with mistakes. The chapter on AF first appeared in the 2nd ed. of the book (2003). So there has been plenty of time to correct at least most of the mistakes for this 3rd ed. from 2007. I also tried to found an errata, even that of the 1st ed. of the book which is promised in the preface, but I didn't succeed. That was a severe disappointment. That said, I cannot agree with most of the Amazon customers which rate the book with 5 stars, and recommend the author to get some picky reviewers that can catch and correct those (and other I don't mention) nasty typos and mistakes. To the reader using the book I suggest him/her to consult, for instance, the books from Widrow & Stearns or Simon Haykin to obtain correct derivations of the fundamental equations behind the basic theory of AF. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

Beginner on DSP and FPGA,
By X. Hong "enderval" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Digital Signal Processing with Field Programmable Gate Arrays (Hardcover)
I would have to agree with JASA as an errata would definitely be nice. I am a novice on this topic and any mistake can lead to head aches for any new beginner to this topic. I bought this book on the hopes of implementing some of the material presented in Proakis's book. Reading all the positive reviews convinced me to buy this book. As I am only finished with chapter 1 and trying out the exercises (which in themselves are sort of a headache), take my review with a grain of salt.I would have to say that Altera 6.0 Web edition included in the book works well for most of the material, but the use of the MegaCore library has been a headache because it requires a download of the MegaCore. On Altera's website, however, you need to install the 10.1 web edition. This leads to some issues and some of the features have been changed. From a beginner's point of view, this is really frustrating. The simple NCO example in the first chapter worked fine on my work Altera 7.1 full edition but trying the same project on the free 10.1 web edition proved fruitless. Another point of contention that is not mentioned in any of the reviews is that the author heavily relies on Altera as the platform of choice for his FPGA designs. Granted for a seasoned FPGA engineer, this would not be a problem, but I had originally bought a Nexys2 Xilinx board (much much cheaper than the Altera chip used in the book [...] compared to [...]) and bought this book thinking the designs would be soley based in standard VHDL or Verilog. Now, for most (non noobies) this should not pose a problem since they can probably easily port over designs from platform to platform. I still am looking forward to working some of the further examples in the book and hopefully provide an update to my review. Found the Errata. [...] 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

Necessary in your design or teaching task,
By Guillermo (Spain) - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Digital Signal Processing with Field Programmable Gate Arrays (Hardcover)
Dr. Meyer-Baese covers very interesting signal processing topics using reconfigurable hardware (FPGAs) in this work. The book contains a good overview of FPGA technology and tools for implementing digital signal processing systems (DSP). Computer Arithmetic, Filter Design (FIR & IIR), Multirate Signal Processing, Fourier Transforms, Advanced Topics as Number Theoretic Transforms (NTTs), Error Control and Cryptography, Modulation are concepts very well exposed, finishing the book with a rigorous and complete chapter of Microprocessor Design that I teach at University. Every chapter has enough exercises perfectly thought to learn the basic and advanced concepts, which are very useful for self-study proposal. Also VHDL, Verilog and assembler code is provided.In short, a high grade choice as initiation or advanced reference in the field of signal processing systems in hardware. |
