Hi Guys,
In case you were wondering, please know
that the IEEE Signal Proc. magazine has *NOT*
stopped publishing its "DSP Tips and Tricks"
column. Last Fall I notified the Signal
Proc. magazine's Editor-n-Chief that I no
longer had the spare time to produce a
"DSP T&T" column for every issue. After some
negotiation, I agreed to stay on as the
column's editor and produce a column
for every 2nd issue of the magazine

The last T&T column was in the March 2008
issue--a neat article about 'DC cancellation
filters' by our Randy Yates and some other guy.
The next "T&T" column will be in the July 2008
issue, and it's a interesting article on 'sample
rate change' (decimation & interpolation).

With that said, if any of you are familiar with
the T&T column's "style and content", and have
an idea for a potential T&T article, I'd be happy
to dicuss your idea with you.

Regards,
[-Rick-]

You seem to be posting from the USA (Washington, DC?) in which case
the easiest solution would be pay a visit to an engineering library of
the nearest university. These are usually open to the public and you
can either make photo-copies or get the articles online and email them
to yourself if they have online search facilities.

I appreciate the suggestion, but the Washington, DC area covers a lot
of ground. I would have to drive about 50 miles through DC traffic (I
am in a much less congested area) to get to one of these libraries.
So unfortunately this is not a good idea for me. We have a local
community college, but they even dropped their basic electronics and
embedded computer courses. They will teach you how to use Excel and
Word for $500 a semester however.

I would much rather spend the $13 than do all the driving. I guess my
thing is that I have no idea if the article has any real interest to
me or not. Also, I was caught off guard thinking it was the same
magazine as the Spectrum that comes with the basic membership. I
rummaged around for 10 or 15 minutes to find the March issue only to
realize that the article is in Signal Processing! So now I am bummed
that I don't get the magazine. I seem to recall that the membership
in the signal processing branch is over $100 a year. Maybe I can get
the mag without the membership.

And if we don't subscribe to the magazine, is there a way we can view
the articles without paying $13 a pop?

If the title / abstract sounds interesting, I'm pretty sure the
author(s) would be very happy to send you an electronic copy for
personal use.

Ciao,
