Download or read book Signals, Noise, and Active Sensors written by John Minkoff and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 1992-03-18 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sonar, radar and laser radar have evolved to the point where many commercial, scientific and military applications exist for these sensing systems. Each of these sensors involves problems peculiar to themselves. Deals with solutions to the problems currently associated with signal detection by the application of a variety of subsets of Communication and Estimation Theory. Covers such topics as noise and random processes; noise statistics; how to detect signals in noise; waveform analysis; non-coherent detection of a single pulse and more.
