Synopsis

This introduction to the basic theory and techniques of signal detection and estimation provides background for engineers and scientists working in a number of fields, including communications, control, signal and image processing, radar and sonar, radio astronomy, seismology, remote sensing and instrumentation. The treatment can be used as a textbook in several instructional modes, including as a single course, a two-tiered combination of an introductory course and an advanced course, or as two separate courses, one in signal detection, the other in estimation.

About this title

Review

"...many diagrams are used to illustrate how statistical procedures are implemented...The book is organized in a particularly nice and useful way. The level of mathematical difficulty rises very gradually...Great care is exercised to explain the meaning of each result..." -- Mathematical Review

"Students will find the book a very useful, comprehensive, and accessible introduction to detection and estimation techniques...Renders the theories of the field accessible to an average graduate student...[also] a valuable addition to their library as a handy reference to key ideas and techniques." -- IEEE Communications Magazine
