[[File:Signal processing system.png|thumb|400px|Signal transmission using electronic signal processing. [[Transducer]]s convert signals from other physical [[waveform]]s to electric [[Electric current|current]] or [[voltage]] waveforms, which then are processed, transmitted as [[electromagnetic wave]]s, received and converted by another transducer to final form.]]

'''Signal processing''' is an [[electrical engineering]] subfield that focuses on analyzing, modifying and synthesizing ''[[signal]]s'', such as [[audio signal processing|sound]], [[image processing|images]], [[Scalar potential|potential fields]], [[Seismic tomography|seismic signals]], [[Altimeter|altimetry processing]], and [[scientific measurements]].<ref>{{cite journal|last=Sengupta|first=Nandini|author2=Sahidullah, Md|author3=Saha, Goutam|date=August 2016|title=Lung sound classification using cepstral-based statistical features|journal=Computers in Biology and Medicine|volume=75|issue=1|pages=118–129|doi=10.1016/j.compbiomed.2016.05.013|pmid=27286184}}</ref> Signal processing techniques are used to optimize transmissions, [[Data storage|digital storage]] efficiency, correcting distorted signals, improve [[subjective video quality]], and to detect or pinpoint components of interest in a measured signal.<ref>{{cite book|title=Discrete-Time Signal Processing|author=Alan V.

In 1948, [[Claude Shannon]] wrote the influential paper "[[A Mathematical Theory of Communication]]" which was published in the ''[[Bell System Technical Journal]]''.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.computerhistory.org/revolution/digital-logic/12/269/1331 |title=A Mathematical Theory of Communication – CHM Revolution |website=Computer History |access-date=2019-05-13}}</ref> The paper laid the groundwork for later development of information communication systems and the processing of signals for transmission.<ref name=fifty>{{cite book |title=Fifty Years of Signal Processing: The IEEE Signal Processing Society and its Technologies, 1948–1998 |publisher=The IEEE Signal Processing Society |year=1998 |url=https://signalprocessingsociety.org/uploads/history/history.pdf}}</ref>

[[Signal]] processing matured and flourished in the 1960s and 1970s, and [[digital signal processing]] became widely used with specialized [[digital signal processor]] chips in the 1980s.<ref name=fifty/><!--[[User:Kvng/RTH]]-->
