Early DSP’ing Milestones

Before 1965: First tentative steps

1965: Rediscovery of the FFT

1965 to 1970: The potential becomes clear

1970 to 1980: Tools are developed

1980: VLSI makes it practical

Now: Incredible computational power
opens up many new applications

One View of DSP, Circa 1976
“That discipline which has allowed us to replace a
circuit previously composed of a capacitor and a
resistor with two anti-aliasing filters, an A-to-D and a Dto-A converter, and a general purpose computer (or
array processor) so long as the signal we are interested
in does not vary too quickly.”
