Hello, I’m looking for recommended reading to better by understanding of DSP. I’m nearing the end of _The Scientist and Engineer’s Guide to Digital Signal Processing_, and have found it to be an excellent resource on the fundamentals. I’m hoping to follow it up with a book or two to with a deeper focus on DSP algorithms / filter design / SDR. I have a solid background in programming, but no college math or signal processing, so I’m hoping to find some material that focuses more on application than theory. I would normally take the time to learn the requisite math beforehand, but I’m under a time constraint from the DARPA spectrum challenge. What books (or online resources) would you recommend? Thanks, Marc ---

Marc, there’s this page: [http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/SuggestedReading](http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/SuggestedReading) in case you haven’t found that yet. > I have a solid background in programming, but no college math or signal > processing, so I’m hoping to find some material that focuses more on > application than theory.

Lyons’ books are pretty good reads if you want practical instead of theoretical. MB – Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) Communications Engineering Lab (CEL) Dipl.-Ing. Martin B.

Thank you for that information. R Lyons’ books are just what I was looking for.
