Inhaltsangabe

Beamforming: Sensor Signal Processing for Defence Applications presents a range of important research contributions concerned with sensor array signal processing and, in particular, with the superresolution beamformers fundamental to many civilian and defence applications. Both space and space-time (STAP) beamforming algorithms and their application to radar systems are considered with emphasis given to "look-down" airborne radars, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), arrayed MIMO radar and a number of common wake-wave detection algorithms for two-dimensional SAR imagery. Furthermore, ocean towed arrays, which find applications in a variety of areas such as defence, oil and gas exploration, and geological and marine life studies, are also considered paying particular attention to receiver positional uncertainties resulting from the array's flexible structure. Array geometrical and electrical uncertainties, design of auto-calibration algorithms, beamforming "pointing" error uncertainties and robustification issues are also presented. This book is self-contained and unified in its presentation, and comprehensively covers some of the classic and fundamental models of beamforming for sensor signal processing. It is suitable as an advanced textbook for graduate students and researchers in the area of signal processing, as well as a reference book for engineers in the defence industry.

Über diesen Titel

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Beamforming: Sensor Signal Processing and Defence Applications deals with adaptive sensor array processing, and, in particular, superresolution beamformers and their applications to radar. In this book, both narrowband and wideband beamformers will be presented as well as space-only and spatiotemporal beamformers, which may operate in the presence of clutters and jammers. Furthermore, transmitter (Tx), receiver (Rx) and both Tx/Rx (MIMO) beamformers will be considered and their role in radar and sonar designs will be discussed. Design, integration and auto-calibration approaches incorporating off-the-shelf components will also be investigated.

This book is self-contained and comprehensively covers some of the classic and fundamental models of beamforming for sensor signal processing. It is suitable as an advanced textbook for graduate students and researchers in the area of signal processing, as well as a reference book for engineers in the defence industry.
