Real-time or applied digital signal processing courses are oered as follow-ups to conventional or theory-oriented digital signal
processing courses in many engineering programs for the purpose of teaching students the technical know-how for putting
signal processing algorithms or theory into practical use. ese courses normally involve access to a teaching laboratory that is
equipped with hardware boards, in particular DSP boards, together with their supporting software. A number of textbooks have
been written discussing how to achieve real-time implementation on these hardware boards. is book discusses how to use
smartphones as hardware boards for real-time implementation of signal processing algorithms as an alternative to the hardware
boards that are used in signal processing laboratory courses. e fact that mobile devices, in particular smartphones, have
become powerful processing platforms led to the development of this book enabling students to use their own smartphones to
run signal processing algorithms in real-time considering that these days nearly all students possess smartphones. Changing
the hardware platforms that are currently used in applied or real-time signal processing courses to smartphones creates a
truly mobile laboratory experience or environment for students. In addition, it relieves the cost burden associated with using
dedicated signal processing boards noting that the software development tools for smartphones are free of charge and are well-
maintained by smartphone manufacturers. is book is written in such a way that it can be used as a textbook for real-time or
applied digital signal processing courses oered at many universities. Ten lab experiments that are commonly encountered in
such courses are covered in the book. is book is written primarily for those who are already familiar with signal processing
concepts and are interested in their real-time and practical aspects. Similar to existing real-time courses, knowledge of C
programming is assumed. is book can also be used as a self-study guide for those who wish to become familiar with signal
processing app development on either Android or iPhone smartphones.
