Editorial Reviews

Introduces digital signal processing approaches that are potentially applicable to wideband receiver designs. Emphasis is on techniques rather than theoretical discussions. Fourier transforms, discrete Fourier transforms, and subjects related to wide bandwidth receiver designs are treated in early chapters. Other chapters concern receiver hardware, analog-to-digital converters and their impact on receiver performance, converter designs, probability of false alarm, and phase measurement. Later chapters discuss methods related to receiver designs, such as frequency channelization. There are two chapters devoted to electronic warfare receivers. For senior undergraduates and graduate students in engineering. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
