Download or read book Principles of Signal Detection and Parameter Estimation written by Bernard C. Levy and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-07-07 with total page 647 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook provides a comprehensive and current understanding of signal detection and estimation, including problems and solutions for each chapter. Signal detection plays an important role in fields such as radar, sonar, digital communications, image processing, and failure detection. The book explores both Gaussian detection and detection of Markov chains, presenting a unified treatment of coding and modulation topics. Addresses asymptotic of tests with the theory of large deviations, and robust detection. This text is appropriate for students of Electrical Engineering in graduate courses in Signal Detection and Estimation.
