Signal Processing With Alpha Stable Distribution And Applications

Signal Processing with Alpha-Stable Distributions and Applications

For the first time, this book offers a full and lucid introduction to a useful type of non-Gaussian models, namely those specified by alpha-stable distributions. Emphasizing the practical rather than the theoretical, it surveys the statistical properties, methods, and applications of symmetrical alpha-stable distributions.

Underwater Acoustic Signal Processing

This book provides comprehensive coverage of the detection and processing of signals in underwater acoustics. Background material on active and passive sonar systems, underwater acoustics, and statistical signal processing makes the book a self-contained and valuable resource for graduate students, researchers, and active practitioners alike. Signal detection topics span a range of common signal types including signals of known form such as active sonar or communications signals; signals of unknown form, including passive sonar and narrowband signals; and transient signals such as marine mammal vocalizations. This text, along with its companion volume on beamforming, provides a thorough treatment of underwater acoustic signal processing that speaks to its author’s broad experience in the field.
