Combines systems, signals, signal processing, and parameter extraction into one textSummarizes many of the modern signal detection and estimation schemesProvides simple mechanisms for detection using basic digital signal processing toolsCovers fast Fourier transforms and includes an introduction to waveletsContains MATLAB-based project and numerous examplesOffers a solutions manual with qualifying course adoptions Whether working in wireless communication technology or radar/sonar systems, researchers and engineers must understand the fundamentals of signal detection. While offering a clear, self-contained treatment of the theory behind signal detection, the author incorporates many applications and wide-ranging examples that demonstrate how to apply the concepts to real-world problems. Accessible to senior level undergraduates and suitable as both a text and a reference, this book incorporates treatments of state-of-the-art concepts, methods, and technologies, including digital signal processing, wavelets, fast Fourier transform processing, and cyclostationary processing.
