Elements of Signal Detection and Estimation

Booknews

The systematic design of receivers and the assessment of their performance are based on signal-detection theory, the subject of this volume. The contents include detecting a signal of known form in Gaussian noise; complex-envelope representation of narrowband signals and their detection; statistical estimation theory; constant-false- alarm-rate and nonparametric receivers; sequential processing; and design of detectors of Gaussian stochastic signals and the calculation of their error probabilities. Ten appendices collect useful information and present calculations not included in the main text. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
