Successful work in DSP requires an understanding of fundamentals that
precede it in the usual order of courses. Misha Schwartz, "Information
transmission, Modulation and Noise" and Lathi, "Linear Systems and
Signals" are in that category. Ancient texts such as Everitt and Anner
"Communication Engineering" provide knowledge that makes the difference
between all-around competence and passable workmanship.
