Comp.dsp is a worldwide UseNet news group that is used to discuss
various aspects of digital signal processing. It is unmoderated,
though we try to keep the signal to noise ratio up :-). If you need to
ask a question that isn't in the FAQ, and can't figure out how to post,
consult news.newusers.questions. Other relevant news groups are
comp.compression, comp.speech, and sci.image.processing.

An elegant method for designing a time-discrete solution for
realization of a spectral window which is ideal from an energy
concentration viewpoint. This window is one that concentrates the
maximum amount of energy in a specified bandwidth and hence provides
optimal spectral resolution. Unlike the Kaiser window, this window is
a discrete-time realization having the same objectives as the
continuous-time prolate spheroidal function; at the expense of not
having a closed form solution. [Joe Campbell, jpcampb@afterlife.ncsc.mil]

Q1.2: Where can I get free software for general DSP?
The packages listed below are mostly for general purpose DSP, that is,
DSP that is not specific to a particular programmable DSP chip. See
the later sections in the FAQ for software relevant to a particular
programmable DSP chip.
According to Brian Evans: "There was an entire session on this subject
[free DSP software] at ICASSP '92, chaired by Dr. Sally Wood and
Dr. James McClellan. It appears in Volume 4 of the Proceedings, pages
73-112. There will be another such session at ICASSP '93." [Brian Evans,
evans@eedsp.gatech.edu] Much of the information below is from Brian's mail.
--------------------------------------------------
Q1.2.1: What is Gabriel? Where can I get it?
Package: Gabriel
Description:
Hierarchical block diagram environment for prototyping signal processing
systems on single or multiple processors. Algorithms expressed in block
diagram form can be simulated, and assembly code can also be generated for
the Motorola DSP56001 and DSP96002. Gabriel has almost been obsoleted by
Ptolemy, below.
Platforms: sun 3, sun 4, X windows. Written in Lisp (lisp compiler supplied).
Contact: Alan Kamas, aok@ohm.berkeley.edu.
To obtain:
Anonymous ftp to copernicus.berkeley.edu, and retrieve gabriel-license.shar.
This is a shar file of licenses that you must sign and mail back to us (the
old-fashioned way) before we can give you the source. Then we can tell you
the password for an account that will allow you to FTP Gabriel.
--------------------------------------------------
Q1.2.2: What is Ptolemy? Where can I get it?
Package: Ptolemy
Description:
Ptolemy provides a highly flexible foundation for the specification,
simulation, and rapid prototyping of systems. It is an object
oriented framework within which diverse models of computation can
co-exist and interact. For example, using Ptolemy a data-flow
system can be easily connected to a hardware simulator which in turn
may be connected to a discrete-event system, etc. Because of this,
Ptolemy can be used to model entire systems.
In addition, Ptolemy now has code generation capabilities. From a
flow graph description, Ptolemy can generate both C code and DSP
assembly code for rapid prototyping. Note that code generation is
not yet complete, and is included in the current release for
demonstration purposes only.
Ptolemy has been used for a broad range of applications including
signal processing, telecomunications, parallel processing, wireless
communications, optical phase lock loops, real time systems, and
hardware/software co-design. Ptolemy has also been used as a lab
for signal processing and communications courses. Currently Ptolemy
has hundreds of users in over 75 sites, both in industry and academia.
Ptolemy is available for the Sun 4 (sparc) and DecStation (MIPS)
architectures. A port to the HP workstation is in progress.
Installing the system requires 49 Mbytes for Ptolemy (64 Mbytes
after you optionally rebuild) and 16 Mbytes for the Gnu tools
subset. At least 8 Mbytes of physical memory are required.
Ptolemy has been developed at UC Berkeley over the past 3 years.
Further information, including papers and the complete release
notes, is available from the FTP site.
A license is no longer required to receive Ptolemy. The source code,
binaries, and documentation are available by anonymous ftp from
ptolemy.berkeley.edu

FOR STUDENTS: Prentice Hall has published a student edition of matlab
which contains a book and set of disks for PCs and Macs. The software
is limited only in matrix size (32 x 32 matrix; 1024 elements) and in
its ability to import or call C or Fortran subroutines. On the plus
side, it is able to run without a coprocessor (it will use one if it is
present) and it includes a subset of the Signal Processing and Controls
Toolboxes, The Signals and Systems Toolbox, which provides for added
functionality. Book only (about US$30): ISBN = 0138560064; Book + disk:
(about US$50 ISBN=0-13-855974-0 for 3.5" or ISBN=0-13-855982-1 for 5.25
Macintosh version: ISBN=0-13-855990-2. There will be related books out
by mid to late 1993 : Computer Aided Signal Processing with MATLAB, by
Burrus, Oppenheim, McClellan, Parks, Schafer, and Schussler; and Signal
Processing : A Computer Approach, by Etter. More books in this MATLAB
Curriculum Series are planned. For general info: matlab@prenhall.com
[From the Matlab Users Group (Editor, hwilson@ua1vm.ua.edu)]
--------------------------------------------------
Q1.2.6: What are the Signal Processing Packages for Mathematica?
Where can I get them?
Package: Signal Processing Pacakages (SPP) and Notebooks.
Description:
Public domain extensions to Mathematica. Enables the symbolic
manipulation of signal processing expressions: 1-D discrete/continuous
convolutions and 1-D/m-D linear transforms (Laplace, Fourier, z, DTFT,
and DFT). For linear transforms, you can specify your own transform
pairs and see the intermediate computations. Great for showing students
how to take transforms, or for deriving input-output relationships in a
transform domain. Additional abilities include analog filter design,
solving DE's using transforms, converting signal processing expressions
to their equivalent TeX forms, and number theoretic operations (Bezout
numbers, Smith Form decompositions, and matrix factors). Accompanying
SPP are tutorial notebooks on analog filter design, Fourier analysis,
piecewise convolution, and the z-transform (includes a discussion of
fundamentals of digital filter design). These Notebooks illustrate
difficult concepts (such as the flip-and-slide view of convolution)
through animation. A Notebook reader is available in the public domain
for Macintosh computers (a BinHexed version is on the ftp site).
FOR STUDENTS: A student version of Mathematica is available for $175.
The price includes a copy of the reference manual. The only drawbacks
to the student version are that the floating point coprocessor is dis-
abled and that upgrades cannot be ordered.
Contact: Brian Evans, evans@eedsp.gatech.edu.
To obtain: anonymous ftp to gauss.eedsp.gatech.edu (130.207.226.24).
(available in UNIX, Mac, and MS-DOS archive formats).
--------------------------------------------------
Q1.2.7: What is the Control Systems Analysis Packages for Mathematica?
Where can I get them?
Package: Control Systems Analysis Package (COSYPAK) and Notebooks
Description: Public domain extension to Mathematica. Classical and
state-space control analysis and design methods. The Notebooks
supplement the material in the textbook "Modern Controls Theory" by
Ogata. Largely based on the Signal Processing Packages (SPP, see above).
Contact: Dr. Sreenath, sree@veda.esys.cwru.edu.
To obtain: anonymous ftp veda.esys.cwru.edu (129.22.40.9).
--------------------------------------------------
Q1.2.8: What are some other Mathematica DSP Notebooks?
The following Mathematica notebooks can be ftped from ccrma-ftp.stanford.edu:
pub/DSP/GenHamming.ma.Z Generalized Hamming windows
pub/DSP/Kaiser.ma.Z The Kaiser window
pub/DSP/WinFlt.ma.Z Digital filter design by the "window method"
(There are other DSP related items in pub/DSP on ccrma-ftp; see other
sections of this FAQ for details).
--------------------------------------------------
Q1.2.9: What is the Linear Systems Toolbox for Maple?
Where can I get it?
Package: Linear systems toolbox for Maple.
Description: Public domain extension to Maple.
Contact: Tony Richardson, amr@mpl.ucsd.edu.
To obtain: anonymous ftp to cameron.egr.duke.edu,
file pub/maple/linsys1.2.tar.Z.
--------------------------------------------------
Q1.2.10: Where can I get text to speech conversion software?
Free (but not public domain) text to speech conversion software is
available via anonymous ftp from wilma.cs.brown.edu in the pub directory
as speak.tar.Z. It will compile and run on a SPARC's built-in audio
after modifying speak.c with the path of your libaudio.h (e.g.,
/usr/demo/SOUND/libaudio.h). It's a simple phoneme concatenation
system with commensurate synthesized speech quality (a directory of
phoneme audio files is included). [Joe Campbell, jpcampb@afterlife.ncsc.mil]
--------------------------------------------------
Q1.2.11: Where can I get filter design software?
One source is the following: in the August 92 issue of IEEE
Transactions on Signal Processing there is a paper entitled "METEOR: A
Constraint-Based FIR Filter Design Program" by Kenneth Steiglitz,
Thomas W. Parks and James F. Kaiser. They describe an FIR design
program which allows specification of the target frequency response
characteristics in a fairly generalised and flexible way. As well as
designing filters, the program can optimise filter lengths and push
band limits.
The paper contains a footnote which says "Pascal and C versions of
source code are available to anonymous ftp at princeton.edu in the
directory /pub as meteor.p, form.p, meteor.c and form.c".
True, they are. They appear to work. The Pascal versions have been
put through p2c to get the C versions; all the needed Pascal library
stuff is included in the C versions and they built error-free out of
the box for me on an SGI machine.
One catch is, there is no manual - you need the paper to know how to drive
the programs.
[Steve Clift, clift@ml.csiro.au]
{ There are other free filter design programs floating around out there,
such as optfir/wfir. Does anyone know of ftp sites? }
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q1.2.12 Where can I get some DOS stuff?
There is a DOSD library available. The author wrote:
The DSP library is currently on Compuserve engineering forum. It
includes a Microsoft and Turbo C library. At the moment it is just a
demo object format library (and the microsoft version only works with
an x87), but the source code lisence is purchaseable. I have done it
this way because at the moment I am unsure of exactly how I want to
make it available, LSI are quite interested in supplying it with
their boards, or I may just offer it a freeware. If you are
interested, I could maybe just send you a disk, the problem is that
it is quite large and costs a bit to download from somewhere like
Compuserve.
The library contains many functions for things like FFTs, filtering
(including LMS adaptive), windowing, convolution (inc 2d) and
correlation. It also has loads of examples, of how to use the
functions, including things like FIR filter design methods and
amplitude modulation.
{If someone downloads this, send it to me, and I will put it
up for anon. ftp - Brad }
=============================================================================
2. Algorithms and standards.
This section deals with DSP algorithms and related standards.
=======================================================================
Q2.1: Where can I get some algorithms for general DSP?
The following archives contain things such as matrix operations, FFT's and
generally useful things like that, as opposed to complete applications:

Q2.2: What are CELP and LPC? Where can I get the source for CELP and LPC?
CELP stands for "code excited linear prediction". LPC stands for
"linear predictive coding". They are compression algorithms used for
low bit rate (2400 and 4800 bps) speech coding.
The U.S. DoD's Federal Standard 1016 (FS 1016) based 4800 bps code
excited linear prediction voice coder version 3.2 (CELP 3.2) Fortran
and C simulation source codes are available for worldwide distribution
at no charge (on DOS diskettes, but configured to compile on Sun SPARC
stations) from:
Bob Fenichel
National Communications System
Washington, D.C. 20305
1-703-692-2124
1-703-746-4960 (fax)
Example input and processed speech files, a technical information bulletin,
and the official standard "Federal Standard 1016, Telecommunications:
Analog to Digital Conversion of Radio Voice by 4,800 bit/second Code
Excited Linear Prediction (CELP)" are included at no charge.
Unfortunately, a document that is a vital part of the CELP release package
is not available in electronic form. Anyone serious interested in CELP
should obtain the document:
Details to Assist in Implementation of Federal Standard 1016 CELP.
National Communications System, Office of Technology & Standards, 1992.
Technical Information Bulletin 92-1.
It is available from the above address.
The 4800 bps CELP code is available via anonymous FTP on
furmint.nectar.cs.cmu.edu (128.2.209.1111) in celp.audio.compression.
It is unsupported, and has not been compiled or tested. This version
takes a lot of CPU time. It is about 15 times slower than real-time.
That is, to code 1 minute of speech takes about 15 minutes. It has
directions on how to reduce the codebook search to make it faster, but
they are only for the speech coding expert.
The following article describes the FS 1016 4.8-kbps CELP coder:

Q2.3: What is ADPCM? Where can I get source for it?
ADPCM stands for Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation. It is a
family of speech compression and decompression algorithms. A common
implementation takes 16-bit linear PCM samples samples and converts
them to 4-bit samples, yeilding a compression rate of 4:1.
There is public domain C code available via anonymous ftp at
ftp.cwi.nl in /pub/adpcm.shar written by Jack Jansen (email
Jack.Jansen@cwi.nl). It is very programmer-friendly. The ADPCM code
used is the Intel/DVI ADPCM code which is being recommended by the IMA
Digital Audio Technical Working Group. It allows the following calls:
adpcm_coder(short inbuf[], char outbuf[], int nsample,
struct adpcm_state *state);
adpcm_decoder(char inbuf[], short outbuf[], int nsample,
struct adpcm_state *state);
The routines have been tested on an SGI Indigo running Irix 4.0.2 and
on a Sparcstation 1+ running SunOS 4.1.1. On a Sun, the code will
compress at 250Ksample/sec and decompress at 300Ksample/sec. On an
SGI, the compressor runs at 350Ksample/sec and the decompressor at
700Ksample/sec.
Note that this is NOT a CCITT G722 coder. The CCITT ADPCM standard is
much more complicated, probably resulting in better quality sound but
also in much more computational overhead.

Q2.4: What is GSM? Where can I get source for it?
The README file for GSM says:
GSM 06.10 13 kbit/s RPE/LTP speech compression available
--------------------------------------------------------
The Communications and Operating Systems Research Group (KBS) at the
Technische Universitaet Berlin is currently working on a set of
UNIX-based tools for computer-mediated telecooperation that will be
made freely available.
As part of this effort we are publishing an implementation of the
European GSM 06.10 provisional standard for full-rate speech
transcoding, prI-ETS 300 036, which uses RPE/LTP (residual pulse
excitation/long term prediction) coding at 13 kbit/s.
GSM 06.10 compresses frames of 160 13-bit samples (8 kHz sampling
rate, i.e. a frame rate of 50 Hz) into 260 bits; for compatibility
with typical UNIX applications, our implementation turns frames of 160
16-bit linear samples into 33-byte frames (1650 Bytes/s).
The quality of the algorithm is good enough for reliable speaker
recognition; even music often survives transcoding in recognizable
form (given the bandwidth limitations of 8 kHz sampling rate).
The interfaces offered are a front end modelled after compress(1), and
a library API. Compression and decompression run faster than realtime
on most SPARCstations. The implementation has been verified against the
ETSI standard test patterns.

Q2.5: How does pitch perception work, and how do I implement it on my DSP chip?
Pitch is officially defined as "That attribute of auditory sensation
in terms of which sounds may be ordered on a musical scale." Several
good examples illustrating the subtleties of pitch perception are
included in the "Auditory Demonstrations CD" which is available from
the Acoustical Society of America, Woodbury, NY 10797 for $20.
A good general reference about the psychology of pitch perception is
the book:
B.C.J. Moore, "An Introduction to the Psychology of Hearing",
Academic Press, London, 1989.
This book is available in paperback and makes a good desk reference.
An algorithm implementation that matches a large body of psychoacoustical
work, but which is computationally very intensive, is presented in the paper:
Malcolm Slaney and Richard Lyon, "A Perceptual Pitch Detector,"
Proceedings of the International Conference of Acoustics, Speech,
and Signal Processing, 1990, Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The definitive papers describing the use of such a perceptual pitch
detector as applied to the classical pitch literature is in:
Ray Meddis and M. J. Hewitt. "Virtual pitch and phase
sensitivity of a computer model of the auditory periphery. "
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America 89 (6 1991): 2866-2682.
and 2883-2894.
The current work that argues for a pure spectral method starts with the work
of Goldstein:
J. Goldstein, "An optimum processor theory for the
central formation of the pitch of complex tones," Journal
of the Acoustical Society of America 54, 1496-1516, 1973.
Two approaches are worth considering if something approximating pitch
is appropriate. The people at IRCAM have proposed a harmonic analysis
approach that can be implemented on a DSP
Boris Doval and Xavier Rodet, "Estimation of Fundamental Frequency
of Musical Sound Signals," Proceedings of the 1991 International
Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, Toronto,
Volume 5, pp. 3657-3660.
The classic paper for time domain (peak picking) pitch algorithms is:
B. Gold and L. Rabiner, "Parallel processing techniques for estimating
pitch periods of speech in the time domain," Journal of the Acoustical
Society of America, 46, pp 441-448, 1969.
Finally, a word of caution: Pitch is not single-valued. We can hear a
sound and match it to several different pitches. Imagine the number
of instruments in an orchestra, each with its own pitch. Even a
single sound can have more than one pitch. See for example
Demonstration 27 from the ASA Auditory Demonstrations CD.
[The above from Malcolm Slaney, Apple Computer, and John Lazzaro,

Q2.6: What standards are there for digital audio? What is AES/EBU?
What is S/P-DIF?
The "AES/EBU" (Audio Engineering Society / European Broadcast Union)
digital audio standard is probably the most popular digital audio
standard today. Most consumer and professional digital audio devices
(CD players, DAT decks, etc.) that feature digital audio I/O support
AES/EBU.
AES/EBU is a bit-serial communications protocol for transmitting
digital audio data through a single transmission line. It provides two
channels of audio data (up to 24 bits per sample), a method for
communication control and status information ("channel status bits"),
and some error detection capabilities. Clocking information (i.e.,
sample rate) is derived from the AES/EBU bit stream, and is thus
controlled by the transmitter. The standard mandates use of 32 kHz,
44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz sample rates, but some interfaces can be made to
work at other sample rates.
AES/EBU provides both "professional" and "consumer" modes. The big
difference is in the format of the channel status bits mentioned above.
The professional mode bits include alphanumeric channel origin and
destination data, time of day codes, sample number codes, word length,
and other goodies. The consumer mode bits have much less information,
but do include information on copy protection (naturally). Additionally,
the standard provides for "user data", which is a bit stream containing
user-defined (i.e., manufacturer-defined) data. According to Tim
Channon, "CD user data is almost raq CD subcode; DAT is StartID and
SkipID. In progfessional mode, there is an SDLC protocol or, if DAT,
it may be the same as consumer mode."
There physical connection media are commonly used with AES/EBU:
balanced (differential), using two wires and shield in three-wire microphone
cable with XLR connectors; unbalanced (single-ended), using audio coax cable
with RCA jacks; and optical (via fiber optics).
"S/P-DIF" (Sony/Philips Digital Interface Format) typically refers to
AES/EBU operated in consumer mode over unbalanced RCA cable. Note
that S/P-DIF and AES/EBU mean different things depending on how much
of a purist you are in the digital audio world; see the Finger article
below.

Q2.7: What is mu-law encoding? Where can I get source for it?
Mu-law (also "u-law") encoding is a form of logarithmic quantization
or companding. It's based on the observation that many signals are
statistically more likely to be near a low signal level than a high
signal level. Therefore, it makes more sense to have more quantization
points near a low level than a high level. In a typical mu-law system,
linear samples of 14 to 16 bits are companded to 8 bits. Most telephone
quality codecs (including the Sparcstation's audio codec) use mu-law
encoded samples.
Desktop Sparc machines come with routines to convert between linear and
mu-law samples. On a desktop Sparc, see the man page for audio_ulaw2linear
in /usr/demo/SOUND/man.
Craig Reese posted the source of similar routines to comp.dsp in August '92.

Q2.8: How can I do CD <-> DAT sample rate conversion?
CD players use a 44.1 kHz sample rate, whereas DAT uses a 48 kHz sample rate.
This means that you must do sample rate conversion before you can get data
from a CD player directly into a DAT deck.
[From Ed Hall, edhall@rand.org:]
For a start, look at "Multirate Digital Signal Processing" by Crochiere
and Rabiner (see FAQ section 1.1).
Almost any technique for producing good digital low-pass filters will be
adaptable to sample-rate conversion. 44.1:48 and vice-versa is pretty
hairy, though, because the lowest whole-number ratio is 147:160. To do
all that in one go would require a FIR with thousands of coefficients,
of which only 1/147th or 1/160th are used for each sample--the real
problem is memory, not CPU for most DSP chips. You could chain several
interpolators and decimators, as suggested by factoring the ratio into
3*7*7:2*2*2*2*2*5. This adds complexity, but reduces the number of
coefficients required by a considerable amount.
In any case, your local DSP guru will probably be able to suggest a good
program for designing digital filters (this is a good general question
for the net, anyway). This is one case where going beyond the simpler
windowed-sinc-based approaches might pay off (and I'm afraid I can't
recommend any readily available programs myself).

3. Programmable DSP chips and software.
This section deals with programmable DSP chips and their software.
Q3.1: What are the available DSP chips and chip architectures?

Q3.2: Software for Motorola DSPs.
=======================================================================
Q3.2.1: Where can I get a free assembler for the Motorola DSP56000?
A free assembler for the Motorola DSP56000 exists, thanks to Quinn
Jensen, jensenq@qcj.icon.com. The current version is 1.1, and
it is posted to alt.sources, so look for it on mirrors of that

Q3.2.2: Where can I get a free C compiler for the Motorola DSP56000?
There are two separate compiler sources for the Motorola DSP56000. One
is the port of gcc 1.40 done by Andrew Sterian (asterian@eecs.umich.edu) and
the other is a port of gcc 1.37.1 done by Motorola and returned to the
FSF. Andrew's port has bowed to Motorola's version. Both may be
portable to gcc2.x.x with some effort required. Neither of these comes
with an assembler, but you can get a free DSP56000 assembler elsewhere
(see Q3.2.1 above).

Q5.0 What DSP Operating Systems are available.
[This was researched and written by Chuck Corley (chuckc@sr.hp.com)]
The need to use an operating system for a DSP processor seems to
depend on the task(s) to be performed. For small or simple DSP tasks
where the DSP is doing only a single simple repetitive function, an
operating system is probably not needed.
As the number and complexity of DSP tasks increase, an operating
system of some type may be needed in order to allocate system resources
(RAM, etc.) and to perform multi-tasking, where several tasks take
turns executing.
An example: A DSP processor may be required to perform non-DSP
jobs in order to eliminate a 'host' processor. An operating system may
be needed in order to share processing time and resources between the
DSP and non-DSP tasks.
An option for some DSP applications is to write your own DSP
task-switching or job allocating 'operating system'. Whether this is
the right choice for you depends on how involved you need to make your
operating system, and how much time you have available to spend on
writing it.
A number of companies now offer pre-written operating systems
that execute on DSP processors. In exchange for your money they offer
to save you the time and effort of writing and debugging your own
'operating system' or 'task switcher' or 'resource allocator'.
These companies describe their products as 'real-time' operating
systems. What 'real-time' means is debated, but normally it means that
the maximum time for the operating system to respond to an external
event is known. The calculation for measuring this time involves
summing together interrupt response time, task switching time, and other
processor and operating system benchmarks. 'Real-time' usually also
means 'fast'. Often embedded CPU or DSP tasks require a 'real-time'
(known) response time.
Prices and features vary. All companies charge for purchasing
their 'development environment', which allows you to develop code which
runs on their operating system. Some companies also charge a fee for
each product you create or sell that includes their operating system
software. This is usually called a 'target fee' or 'runtime license'
fee. Some operating systems have no 'runtime license' fees.
As a general precaution, when there are runtime license fees, it
is *very* important to negotiate in advance what the license fee will
be. If this price is not agreed upon (in writing, most likely) at the
time the development system is purchased, you could be in a very bad
position. You will have invested a lot of time and effort writing code
to work with a particular operating system, and when your creation is
produced you could discover that the 'runtime license fee' has increased
for some reason. Considering the amount of work you would have invested
in that operating system, you would be in a very poor bargaining
position.
Features for 4 different DSP operating systems are listed below.
Keep in mind a 'No' answer doesn't necessarily mean that the operating
system is deficient. Some companies felt certain features were not
appropriate for either a 'DSP' or a 'real-time' operating system, and so
they did not implement them. Other companies didn'the best and most up-to-date
information.
