[comp.dsp] Welcome!

todd@ivucsb.sba.ca.us (Todd Day) (09/21/89)

Just so people know what this new group is all about, I am
reposting the proposal for this group:


DSP is an acronym for Digital Signal Processing.  DSP is currently a
rapidly growing field.  Most people have come in contact with DSP
either through compact disc players or satellite photos.

Here are the proposed topics to be covered by this group:

1) Discussions of DSP hardware
	a) single processors
	b) DSP boards for computers
	c) new DSP product announcements
	d) architecture
2) Discussions of DSP software
	a) source code listings for particular chip
	b) how to use development software on particular chip
	c) general purpose DSP software on computers
3) Discussions of DSP theory
	a) general algorithms
	b) other devices that use DSP (CD players, etc.)
4) Discussions of DSP applications
	a) audio
	b) image
	c) control
	d) communications
	e) speech
	f) etc.

Sounds great. I would also like to encourage discussion on the topic of
using DSP techniques to improve the quality of measurements/inputs made with
exisiting adc hardware such as dithering and averaging that improve the
available dynamic range to much better than the bit level of the adc. After
all, any real analog input to a DSP system must pass through an adc.
