Signal Processing Fundamentals and Applications for Communications and Sensing Systems

This cutting-edge book is a clear and thorough exposition of signal-processing fundamentals for communications and major sensing systems. Based on the author's earlier book in this area, this revised and expanded resource offers you expert guidance in the detection of optical, acoustic and radio-frequency signals in noise. It covers digital filtering and parameter estimation, and helps you with problems associated with radar system design, including search, tracking and measurement ambiguity. This practical reference is applicable to optical and electrical communications, radar, sonar and laser radar, and medical applications including ultrasonics. It is must reading for those involved with the use of sensing systems for scientific, commercial or military applications. The book helps you learn all about the processing and extraction of information from sensor data, as well as the basic issues and elements of system design.
