* Well-known authority, Dr. Van Trees updates array signal processing for today's technology * This is the most up-to-date and thorough treatment of the subject available * Written in the same accessible style as Van Tree's earlier classics, this completely new work covers all modern applications of array signal processing, from biomedicine to wireless communications.

Signal processing plays an important role in many diverse application areas, including radar, sonar, communications, seismology, radio astronomy, tomography, and communications. Now, by popular demand, acclaimed author Harry Van Trees' four-part encyclopedic treatment of signal processing is now collected into a set offering 25 years of information in a single source.

Methods of signal analysis represent a broad research topic with applications in many disciplines, including engineering, technology, biomedicine, seismography, eco nometrics, and many others based upon the processing of observed variables. Even though these applications are widely different, the mathematical background be hind them is similar and includes the use of the discrete Fourier transform and z-transform for signal analysis, and both linear and non-linear methods for signal identification, modelling, prediction, segmentation, and classification. These meth ods are in many cases closely related to optimization problems, statistical methods, and artificial neural networks. This book incorporates a collection of research papers based upon selected contri butions presented at the First European Conference on Signal Analysis and Predic tion (ECSAP-97) in Prague, Czech Republic, held June 24-27, 1997 at the Strahov Monastery. Even though the Conference was intended as a European Conference, at first initiated by the European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP), it was very gratifying that it also drew significant support from other important scientific societies, including the lEE, Signal Processing Society of IEEE, and the Acoustical Society of America. The organizing committee was pleased that the re sponse from the academic community to participate at this Conference was very large; 128 summaries written by 242 authors from 36 countries were received. In addition, the Conference qualified under the Continuing Professional Development Scheme to provide PD units for participants and contributors.

"For those involved in the design and implementation of signal processing algorithms, this book strikes a balance between highly theoretical expositions and the more practical treatments, covering only those approaches necessary for obtaining an optimal estimator and analyzing its performance. Author Steven M. Kay discusses classical estimation followed by Bayesian estimation, and illustrates the theory with numerous pedagogical and real-world examples."--Cover, volume 1.
