than a decade, Jeffrey Navon's areas of
expertise include signal processing.

3. Signal processing is an area of systems and
electrical engineering that involves the
analysis, interpretation, or manipulation of a
variety of signals, including sound, images,
and radar. Signal processing can also be
applied to biological signals such as those
recorded with electrocardiograms.
Typically, signals are processed for storage
and reconstruction, quality improvement,
compression, and feature extraction.

4. Signals can be either analog--such as those in
radio, telephone, radar, and television systems-or digital. Digital processing is most often
applied to audio, image, and video signals and is
used to compress and transmit speech in digital
mobile phones. Digital processing is also used to
process data for weather and economic
forecasting and is used in medical imaging,
including CAT scans and MRIs. An area of
engineering and mathematics that has a variety
of uses, signal processing continues to evolve, as
do the technologies used during the analysis,
interpretation, and manipulation of signal data.
