Beamforming ─ Sensor Signal Processing and Defence Applications

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.
