This book contains a unified treatment of a class of problems of signal detection theory. This
is the detection of signals in addi tive noise which is not required to have Gaussian …

Five different constant false alarm rate (CFAR) radar processing schemes are considered
and their performances analyzed in homogeneous and nonhomogeneous backgrounds, the …

We form a finite-state Markov channel model to represent Rayleigh fading channels. We
develop and analyze a methodology to partition the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) into a …

In recent years there has been much interest in robustness issues in general and in robust
signal processing schemes in particular. Robust schemes are useful in situations where …

Following the foundational work that established basic ideas for optimum distributed defection
schemes using multiple sensors (as reviewed in Part I of this two-part review), further work …

Systems of two-dimensional (2-D) imaging arrays and apertures are considered from the
point of view of their performance in the imaging of spatially incoherent as well as coherent …

A coarray-based aperture synthesis scheme using subarrays and postdata acquisition
beamforming is presented for through-the-wall wideband microwave imaging applications. The …

It is generally recognized that digital channel equalization can be interpreted as a problem
of nonlinear classification. Networks capable of approximating nonlinear mappings can be …

Cognitive radios sense the radio spectrum in order to find underutilized spectrum and then
exploit it in an agile manner. Spectrum sensing has to be performed reliably in challenging …

We propose and analyze a hybrid automatic repeat request (ARQ) with a selective combining
scheme using rate-compatible punctured convolutional (RCPC) codes for fading channels. …
