✦ Synopsis

Those who work in the field of techniques and components for Digital Signal Processing (DSP) are prone to believe that telecommunications is becoming just an application of DSP. Although this is certainly an overstatement, the advent of low-cost, general-purpose or application-specific large-scale integrated circuits has fostered for more than 10 years the development and application of new and powerful DSP algorithms to telecommunications. Nowadays, the call for ubiquitous and multimedia communication services still enhances the quest for maximum efficiency of the transmission and signal processing schemes that are commonplace in the communication terminals: transmission channel estimatiodequalization, signal detection and synchronization, channel coding, interference cancellation, just to cite a few. The ETT Journal announces a forthcoming issue on Signal Processing in Telecommunications, that will be focused on (but not limited to) the following main topics: -Application of DSP to Modem Design -Interference Mitigation in Multiple Access Communications -Channel Estimation and Equalization Techniques -DSP-intensive Source & Channel Coding -Signal Synchronization and Data Detection -On-board and Earth-Station Processing for Satellite Networks
