Signal
Processing:
The Emergence
of a
Discipline (1998)
A
narrative
history
of the
creation
of a new
branch
of
engineering.
Signal
processing,
which
concerns
the
changes
made to
signals
so as to
improve
transmission,
storage,
or use,
is
vital to
a wide
range of
modern
technologies.
This
extensively
referenced
account
draws
upon the
published
literature
and
oral-history
interviews
of
dozens
of
pioneers
of the
new discipline.
