| Summary |
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. Publisher abstract |
