Digital Signal Processing in Telecommunications European Project COST#229 Technical Contributions : with 173 Figures

This publication deals with the application of advanced digital signal processing techniques and neural networks to various telecommunication problems. It consists of eight selected contributions to the European Project COST#229. The editor presents the latest research results in areas such as arrays, mobile channels, acoustic echo cancellation, speech coding and adaptive filtering in varying environments. He also gives an overview of new approaches to communication tasks by using new technologies. These include: image coding by means of fractals and neural networks and neural network channel equalisation. A deep insight is given into the present possibilities and research avenues in the area of information processing for communication applications. Digital Signal Processing in Telecommunications will be of particular interest to researchers and telecommunications professionals.
