This new textbook is for contemporary signal detection and parameter estimation
courses offered at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels. It presents a unified
treatment of detection problems arising in radar/sonar signal processing and modern
digital communication systems. The material is comprehensive in scope and addresses
signal processing and communication applications with an emphasis on fundamental
principles. In addition to standard topics normally covered in such a course, the author
incorporates recent advances, such as the asymptotic performance of detectors,
sequential detection, generalized likelihood ratio tests (GLRTs), robust detection, the
detection of Gaussian signals in noise, the expectation maximization algorithm, and the
detection of Markov chain signals. Numerous examples and detailed derivations along
with homework problems following each chapter are included.
