Product Description
Answers the commonly asked questions about how digital signal processing-based machines work and what role DSP plays in the process. It shows you how DSP performs in real-test situations and uses mathematical concepts rather than derivations. The text addresses difficult test problems and their solutions resulting from the union of automatic test equipment (ATE) and DSP. The author establishes a philosophy of DSP-based testing describing how to think, how to approach a problem, how to create a solution, and how to determine if it really works properly. ... Read more

Good, But Needs a New Edition
This book was written in 1987, and many parts of it are still germane. The approach to solving DSP problems, and of testing DSP circuitry are timeless, as long as DSP circuits will exist.

What does need to be updated is text that reflects the massive gains in DSP complexity and speed since then. If anything, the debugging problems are much harder now, due to these hardware advances. In an industrial context, this is important because the Automated Test Equipment field has had to make massive investments in upgrading, to maintain its usefulness.

Overall, you can still find the book useful today, for its problem solving way of thinking. ... Read more

The creator and the Master
Matt Mahoney is arguably, the creator and the master of DSP based testing in ATE.His illustrious career at LTX, during LTX's glory years was the basis for this book.This book should be the first, and will likely needto be the last, DSP based testing book anyone ever needs to read.

Product Description
This book summarises current research and development priority-setting issues - in terms of spending priorities, topical or field-specific priorities, and organisational arrangements to determine priorities. Federal R&D funding priorities have shifted over time, reflecting presidential preferences, congressional appropriations, and national priorities. Defence R&D predominated in the 1980s but decreased to about 50 percent of total federal R&D in the 1990s, reflecting Clinton Administration policies. In non-defence R&D, space was important in the 1960s as the nation sought to compete with the Soviet Union in the space race; energy R&D joined space as a priority during the 1970s; and, since the 1980s, health R&D funding has grown as the cohort of aged population increases and the promise of life sciences and biotechnology affects national expectations.Defence and counter-terrorism R&D funding have been increased since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Together, Department of Defense (DOD) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding total about 77 percent of the FY2007 R&D request. ... Read more
