Download or read book Digital Sampling written by Paul Harkins and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital Sampling is the first book about the design and use of sampling technologies that have shaped the sounds of popular music since the 1980s. Written in two parts, Digital Sampling begins with an exploration of the Fairlight CMI and how artists like Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel used it to sample the sounds of everyday life. It also focuses on E-mu Systems and the use of its keyboards and drum machines in hip-hop. The second part follows users across a range of musical worlds, including US/UK garage, indie folk music, and electronic music made from the sounds of sewers, war zones, and crematoriums. Using material from interviews and concepts from the field of Science and Technology Studies (STS), Digital Sampling provides a new and alternative approach to the study of sampling and is crucial reading for undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers from a wide range of disciplines, including music technology, media, communication, and cultural studies.

Download or read book Sampling in Digital Signal Processing and Control written by Arie Feuer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Undoubtably one of the key factors influencing recent technology has been the advent of high speed computational tools. Virtually every advanced engi neering system we come in contact with these days depends upon some form of sampling and digital signal processing. Well known examples are digital tele phone systems, digital recording of audio signals and computer control. These developments have been matched by the appearance of a plethora of books which explain a variety of analysis, synthesis and design tools applica ble to sampled-data systems. The reader might therefore wonder what is distinc tive about the current book. Our observation of the existing literature is that the underlying continuous-time system is usually forgotten once the samples are tak en. The alternative point of view, adopted in this book, is to formulate the analy sis in such a way that the user is constantly reminded of the presence of the under lying continuous-time signals. We thus give emphasis to two aspects of sampled-data analysis: Firstly, we formulate the various algorithms so that the appropriate contin uous-time case is approached as the sampling rate increases. Secondly we place emphasis on the continuous-time output response rath er than simply focusing on the sampled response.

Download or read book Sampling Theory and Analog To Digital Conversion written by Patrick Jungwirth and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-15 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why another book on sampling theory and analog-to-digital conversion? This book takes a linear system theory approach to analog-to-digital conversion. From linear systems theory, we introduce sampling theory and use the tools from linear system theory to prove Shannon's sampling theorem. Shannon's sampling theorem shows how an analog signal can be converted to a discrete time signal and how the original can be exactly recovered from the discrete time signal. Digital is an approximation to discrete time so exact reconstruction is not possible; however, practically speaking the reconstructed signal is identical to the original analog signal. Digital is more than just 1's and 0's. Digital technology is universal. Once data is in digital form, it can be converted from one digital format to another without any additional loss of information (excluding lossy data compression). We use linear system theory and the sampling theorem to derive the model for an ideal analog to digital converter. We derive performance metrics from the ideal model. The performance metrics are put to good use to illustrate how to test and evaluate an analog-to-digital converter. Applications motivate the reader to apply concepts learned. More complex applications lead the reader to an introduction to software defined radios. Appendices provide summaries of the sampling theorem, communications engineering units, transform tables, and ADC model. Chapter 1 begins by introducing the digital world. Money is used to introduce analog, discrete, and digital. Chapter 2 starts off with a simple description of linear systems. Chapter 2 takes the reader from algebra, calculus, differential equations, Fourier transforms, and back to algebra. We want the reader to have a basic understanding of signal processing. Linear system theory provides the tools to prove the sampling theorem in Chapter 3. A graphical proof and analytical proof of the sampling theorem are presented in Chapter 4. We show why wagon wheels turn backwards in Western movies. Chapter 5 covers the binary math, we need to work with analog-to-digital converters. Code examples are provided for the "software interface" for an analog-to-digital converter. A useful part of Chapter 5 is how to solve the problem of a signed 10 bit analog-to-digital converter connected to a 16 bit microprocessor. The ideal analog-to-digital converter model is developed in Chapter 6. Chapter 7 introduces some common analog-to-digital converters: flash, pipeline, successive approximation register, and delta sigma (ΔΣ). Performance metrics and testing of analog-to-digital converters are found in Chapter 8. Chapter 9 presents sampling and analog-to-digital conversion applications. Chapter 10 covers a brief introduction to analog-to-digital converter datasheets focused on software defined radio applications. Chapter 11 presents an introduction to radio receiver block diagrams and finishes with a short introduction to software defined radios. Chapter 11 completes the journey from linear systems, to sampling theory, to analog-to-digital converters, and then the most useful part, applications. We hope this book serves as a good stepping stone to more complex applications. As computer power continues to increase and costs continue to drop, new applications will be found for the future. Be part of developing the future. If you have any suggestions for improvements, or find errors please email the book author (see book preface).

Download or read book Sampling Wavelets and Tomography written by John J. Benedetto and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sampling, wavelets, and tomography are three active areas of contemporary mathematics sharing common roots that lie at the heart of harmonic and Fourier analysis. The advent of new techniques in mathematical analysis has strengthened their interdependence and led to some new and interesting results in the field. This state-of-the-art book not only presents new results in these research areas, but it also demonstrates the role of sampling in both wavelet theory and tomography. Specific topics covered include: * Robustness of Regular Sampling in Sobolev Algebras * Irregular and Semi-Irregular Weyl-Heisenberg Frames * Adaptive Irregular Sampling in Meshfree Flow Simulation * Sampling Theorems for Non-Bandlimited Signals * Polynomial Matrix Factorization, Multidimensional Filter Banks, and Wavelets * Generalized Frame Multiresolution Analysis of Abstract Hilbert Spaces * Sampling Theory and Parallel-Beam Tomography * Thin-Plate Spline Interpolation in Medical Imaging * Filtered Back-Projection Algorithms for Spiral Cone Computed Tomography Aimed at mathematicians, scientists, and engineers working in signal and image processing and medical imaging, the work is designed to be accessible to an audience with diverse mathematical backgrounds. Although the volume reflects the contributions of renowned mathematicians and engineers, each chapter has an expository introduction written for the non-specialist. One of the key features of the book is an introductory chapter stressing the interdependence of the three main areas covered. A comprehensive index completes the work. Contributors: J.J.

Book excerpt: In October 1934, the Chinese Communist Army found itself facing annihilation, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Nationalist soldiers. Rather than surrender, 86,000 Communists embarked on an epic flight to safety. Only thirty were women. Their trek would eventually cover 4,000 miles over 370 days. Under enemy fire they crossed highland awamps, climbed Tibetan peaks, scrambled over chain bridges, and trudged through the sands of the western deserts. Fewer than 10,000 of them would survive, but remarkably all of the women would live to tell the tale. Unbound is an amazing story of love, friendship, and survival written by a new master of adventure narrative.
