SAN FRANCISCO, May 15 /PRNewswire/ -- CMP Media's EE Times announced the launch of the DSP DesignLine Web site (http://www.dspdesignline.com/). This completely new site is targeted at design engineers and engineering managers involved in the development of signal processing systems including the thriving fields of algorithms & algorithm development, FPGAs & processors, benchmarking & product selection, systems-level design, and tools & IP.

"The DSP DesignLine provides the information engineers and engineering managers need to build signal processing systems. It covers the applications they care about, including communications, audio/video, motion control, military/aerospace, and much more," said Kenton Williston, site editor for DSP DesignLine. "The site features how-to design articles from industry insiders, including exclusive content from the experts at BDTI. It also offers coverage of new products, breaking news from around the world, commentary on the latest developments, and a forum to share ideas with fellow engineers. This is a great new resource, and I'm excited to be part of it."

DSP DesignLine is EE Times' eleventh in a series of vertically micro- segmented Web sites for engineers involved in designing electronics systems. The site provides the technical, how-to information the engineering community needs to accelerate and advance the design and development of DSP products. Topics are broad within DSP, and information ranges from optimizing for power and performance to topical forums on emerging applications. It will also keep engineers abreast of the latest challenges and trends in emerging sectors like:
