Digital signal processing represents one of the most exciting frontiers for researchers in industry and academia today. Over the last several years, the market for digital signal processing has grown at more than 40 percent per year, significantly outpacing the growth of the overall semiconductor industry. The worldwide market for digital signal processors and related mixed-signal/analog chips is projected to grow more than 10 times to about $50 billion over the next ten years.

New uses for digital signal processing, such as digital TV, are being developed at a rapid pace by electronics designers in industry and in university research labs around the world.

The fast growing markets for digital signal processing include all digital cellular phones, all high speed modems for Internet access, PC and dedicated video-conferencing equipment, and high performance mass storage disk drives for personal computers and workstations.

Future applications will include portable video-phones, network processing, devices for natural language speech control of personal computers, ultra-high speed modems for Internet access 1000 times faster than today's modems, image processing for personal digital cameras and video rate processing for digital video via the Internet, satellite and cable.

DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING is the engine making digital products work faster and better.
