This handbook develops a generic processing structure, based on the similarities between radar, sonar, and medical imaging systems, to present an introduction to these new principles and applications. Bridging a number of related fields, it guides readers into the next generation of active and passive real-time systems.

Advances in digital signal processing algorithms and computer technology have combined to produce real-time systems with capabilities far beyond those of just few years ago. Nonlinear, adaptive methods for signal processing have emerged to provide better array gain performance, however, they lack the robustness of conventional algorithms. The challenge remains to develop a concept that exploits the advantages of both-a scheme that integrates these methods in practical, real-time systems. The Advanced Signal Processing Handbook helps you meet that challenge. Beyond offering an outstanding introduction to the principles and applications of advanced signal processing, it develops a generic processing structure that takes advantage of the similarities that exist among radar, sonar, and medical imaging systems and integrates conventional and nonlinear processing schemes.

"...published to assist the development of a scheme that integrates nonlinear, adaptive methods with real-time systems. The book takes advantage of the similarities among radar, sonar and medical imaging systems and integrates conventional and nonlinear processing schemes."-IEEE Signal Processing, November 2001
