Information-Theoretic Radar Signal Processing - by Yujie Gu & Yimin D Zhang (Hardcover)

About the Book

"The signal processor is that part of the system which separates targets from clutter on the basis of Doppler content and amplitude characteristics. Information theory plays critical and unique roles in facilitating and enabling many radar signal processing problems. In addition, in the last decade, we have witnessed a significant increase in the use of information theory for radar signal processing, partially due to increased civilian applications of radar systems, such as automotive radar and radars for gesture recognition, that made the results to be more easily disseminated than the military counterparts which have dominated radar system development in the previous several decades."--

From the Back Cover

A comprehensive introduction to the emerging research in information-theoretic radar signal processing

Signal processing plays a pivotal role in radar systems to estimate, visualize, and leverage useful target information from noisy and distorted radar signals, harnessing their spatial characteristics, temporal features, and Doppler signatures. The burgeoning applications of information theory in radar signal processing provide a distinct perspective for tackling diverse challenges, including optimized waveform design, performance bound analysis, robust filtering, and target enumeration.

Information-Theoretic Radar Signal Processing provides a comprehensive introduction to radar signal processing from an information theory perspective. Covering both fundamental principles and advanced techniques, the book facilitates the integration of information theory into radar signal processing, broadening the scope and improving the performance. Tailored to the needs of researchers and students alike, it serves as a valuable resource for comprehending the information-theoretic aspects of radar signal processing.

Information-Theoretic Radar Signal Processing readers will also find:

• Presentation of alternative hypotheses in adaptive radar detection
• Detailed discussion of topics including resource management and power allocation
• Direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation and integrated sensing and communications (ISAC)

Information-Theoretic Radar Signal Processing is ideal for graduate students, scientists, researchers, and engineers, who work on the broad scope of radar and sonar applications, including target detection, estimation, imaging, tracking, and classification using radio frequency, ultrasonic, and acoustic methods.
