About this title

From the Author

Chapter 12 (expanded in the 2nd edition) of this book focuses on Cyclostationary Random  Processes. Around the turn of the century, now 15 years ago,  the recognition in  a variety of fields of study of the utility of the theory of cyclostationary processes began growing at an accelerating pace.  A comprehensive literature survey was  published in 2006 (see Tutorial Publications herein), and a major extension and generalization of the theory that accommodates the effects of rapid motion between radio-frequency transmitters and receivers appeared in the 2012 book Generalizations of cyclostationary signal processing: spectral analysis and applications  [ISBN: 978-1-119-97335-5] (written by a close friend and colleague, Professor Antonio Napolitano). Numerous research publications in the professional  journals of various fields of science and engineering have appeared during this recent period.     The overview paper by W. A. Gardner, A. Napolitano, and L. Paura, "Cyclostationarity: Half a Century of Research," Signal Processing, April 2006, received from the Publisher (Elsevier) the "Most Cited Paper Award" in 2008; and, each year since its first appearance online up through 2011, it was the most cited paper among those published in Signal Processing in the previous five years, and among the top 10 most downloaded papers from Signal Processing. Google Scholar reported that, as of late 2014, this paper had been cited over 400 times.
     The most frequently cited paper on cyclostationarity as of late 2014 is an IEEE Signal Processing Magazine article with 861 citations, and the next three most cited publications are his three books, with 728, 691, 591 citations, out of a total 9259 citations, 3707 of which were during the 5 year period since 2009.
