Subject: ADV: DSP Training Course 12/6-8/99 San Francisco Bay Area
Besser Associates is offering their acclaimed
_DSP Made Simple for Engineers_ class in
Mountain View, CA on 6-8 December 1999.
This 3-day class is particularly well-suited to those involved
in RF and Audio signal processing, and computer programmers,
who need to learn the fundamentals of DSP. Details of this
course, including target audience, learning objectives, course
outline, materials descriptions, and past student comments
are appended to this posting as items "A" to "I".
To register, please contact Besser Associates at 650-949-3300.

catalog and current schedule.
------detailed course information follows------
A. BESSER COURSE TITLE:
"DSP Made Simple"; a 3-day tutorial course on digital signal
processing (DSP).
B. TARGET AUDIENCE
* The primary audience is practicing RF (and Audio) hardware
Engineers and Technicians who need to understand digital
signal processing (DSP) because of its ever-increasing
role in the processing of real-world signals.
* While DSP Made Simple is not a "programming course", it is
particularly well suited for computer programmers because
of their increasing need to understand DSP algorithms.
* In general, this course is beneficial to anyone involved
in the acquisition, generation, transmission, manipulation,
or analysis of signals.
C. WHAT THE STUDENT GAINS FROM THE COURSE:
* The ability to apply DSP techniques to real-world
signal processing problems in their work.
* A solid grasp of DSP basics and the ability to move
gradually to more sophisticated DSP concepts and
applications.
* The ability to speak the language of DSP.
* The ability to understand written descriptions (articles,
application notes, textbooks) of DSP methods used
in practice.
To register, please contact Besser Associates at 650-949-3300.
