Sensor Array Signal Processing, Second Edition

Since publication of the first edition of Sensor Array Signal Processing in 2000, the field it heralded has come of age. Sensor arrays helped usher in the age of wireless communication by meeting the increasing capacity requirements of ever growing wireless networks, but that is only one example of the number of uses served by this valuable technology across any number of fields.

Extensively updated and expanded, Sensor Array Signal Processing, Second Edition covers a wide range of interrelated topics in array processing to provide an introduction to the field that one will not find in the literature. The book introduces new developments in the use of sensors in wireless networks and the use of distributed sensors for localization. It unravels layers of complexity to explore underlying basic principles of array signal processing, focusing on the common threads that exist in wavefield analysis, rather than on particular applications.

Following an introduction to the basic equations governing different wavefields, the text provides updated coverage on current topics of interest. It analyzes various types of sensor configurations; focusing on those most useful for understanding array systems in practice uniform linear and circular arrays.

Fully updated with over 150 new pages, this new edition:

• Includes new chapters emphasizing the use of sensor arrays in wireless communication and localization
• Adds new exercises and examples to the end of each chapter
• Provides information on emerging topics covering, distributed sensor array, multi-component sensors, space-time processing, azimuth/elevation estimation, wideband adaptive beamformation, and frequency invariant beamformation

An invaluable tool for self-study, this book provides those working in or interested in medical imaging, astronomy, radar, communications, sonar, seismology or any field that studies propagating wavefields, with a highly accessible guide. It describes each concept in precise mathematical language complete with numerical examples, detailed illustrations, and practice exercises at the end of each chapter to reinforce concepts. As with the first edition, this volume also meets the needs of professors wishing to adopt the book for graduate-level courses in telecommunications and electrical engineering.

This text for a two-semester course reviews developments in the use of sensors in wireless networks and the use of distributed sensors for localization; it is intended for graduate students who have already taken a course in digital signal processing and a course in modern spectrum analysis. A common mathematical framework for characterizing wavefields is summarized in the first chapter, followed by an explanation of basic principles of array signal processing, focusing on similarities in the analysis of wavefields used in a variety of application areas and disciplines, rather than on particular applications. The book then analyzes various types of sensor configurations, focusing on uniform linear and circular arrays. Exercises are included, with solutions available from publisher. This second edition takes into account new developments since publication of the first edition was published in 2000. It covers emerging topics such as Doppler-azimuth processing, multi-component sensors, space-time processing, and frequency invariant beamformation. The text can be used in graduate-level courses in electrical engineering and telecommunications. It can also be used as a reference by students and professionals in medical imaging, astronomy, radar, sonar, seismology, or any field that involves propagating wavefields.
