Filtering in the Time and Frequency Domains

At last, almost twenty-five years after its original publication in 1976, 'Filtering in the Time and Frequency Domains' is returned to print in this Noble Classic Series edition. Long regarded as a classic of filter theory and design, Blinchikoff and Zverev's first collaboration stands as the most comprehensive treatment of filtering techniques, devices and concepts as well as pertinent mathematical derivations. Analysis and theory are supplemented by detailed design curves, fully explained examples and problem and answer sections. Discussed are the derivation of filtering functions, Fourier, Laplace, Hilbert, and z transforms, lowpass responses, the transformation of lowpass into other filter types, the all-pass function, the effect of losses on theoretical responses, matched filtering, methods of time-domain synthesis, and digital filtering. This book is invaluable for engineers, other than filter design specialists, who need to know about the possibilities and limits of the filtering process in order to use filters competently and confidently in their system designs.
