Optimum Array Processing (Detection, Estimation, and Modulation Theory, Part IV)

Well-known authority, Dr. Van Trees updates array signal processing for today's technology This is the most up-to-date and thorough treatment of the subject available Written in the same accessible style as Van Tree's earlier classics, this completely new work covers all modern applications of array signal processing, from biomedicine to wireless communications Array processing plays an important role in many diverse application areas, including radar, sonar, communications, seismology, radio astronomy, tomography, and cellular communications. This work gives an integrated presentation of classical and statistical array processing. Classical analysis and synthesis techniques for linear and planar arrays are developed. A statistical characterization of space-time random processes is provided. Many different aspects of optimum array processing are covered, including waveform estimation, adaptive beamforming, parameter estimation, and signal detection. Both plane-wave signals and spatially spread signals are studed, and all results are developed in a pedagogically sound manner Pt. 1. Detection, Estimation, And Linear Modulation Theory.--pt. 2.

In this case, we were concerned with detecting signals in the presence of Gaussian noise.
