Pillai S.U. Array Signal Processing

Springer, 1989. — 230 p.This book is intended as an introduction to array signal processing, where the principal objectives are to make use of the available multiple sensor information in an efficient manner to detect and possibly estimate the signals and their parameters present in the scene. The advantages of using an array in place of a single receiver have extended its applicability into many fields including radar, sonar, communications, astronomy, seismology and ultrasonics. The primary emphasis here is to focus on the detection problem and the estimation problem from a signal processing viewpoint. Most of the contents are derived from readily available sources in the literature, although a certain amount of original material has been included.
This book can be used both as a graduate textbook and as a reference book for engineers and researchers. The material presented here can be readily understood by readers having a background in basic probability theory and stochastic processes. A preliminary course in detection and estimation theory, though not essential, may make the reading easy. In fact this book can be used in a one semester course following probability theory and stochastic processes. Concepts are explained and illustrated in detail along with important mathematical techniques. Since it is much easier to skip steps than to reconstruct them, complete proofs of all the major results are included and the book is essentially self-contained. Problems at the end of each chapter have been chosen to extend the material presented in the book.Detection of Multiple Signals
