Signal detection theory

From MaRDI portal





This book is devoted to a new generalized approach to signal detection theory, in which an additional noise source that does not carry any information about the signal is introduced in order to improve the qualitative performance of complex signal processing systems. In this book, theoretical study is strengthened by computer modeling. The book contains eight chapters. Chapter 1 is devoted to a brief description of the basic tenets of classical signal detection theory and an analysis of the main avenues of investigation in modern signal detection theory. Chapter 2 considers briefly the main features of modern signal detection theory and various approaches to signal detection problems in noise. Chapters 3 and 4 are devoted to the generalized approach to signal processing in noise. Signals with stochastic parameters are the emphasis of Chapter 4. Chapter 5 deals with the problem of designing detectors constructed on the bases of the generalized approach to signal processing in noise in communications. Chapter 6 discusses detection performances, where a decision-making rule is formulated. Chapter 7 presents the experimental study of generalized detectors. Experimental investigations are carried out for powerful and weak signals. Practical recommendations for employment of generalized detectors in various areas of signal processing are discussed using a number of practical examples and applications. Chapter 8 deals with the definition of the type of signals that may be used to ensure high resolution and noise immunity of complex signal processing systems based on the generalized approach to signal detection theory. This book is an excellent resource for understanding and solving problems in modern signal detection theories. It is intended for professionals, scientists, engineers, and researchers in electrical engineering, computer science, geophysics, applied mathematics, and applied statistics. It would be better if the references were also provided in the end of the book with the authors listed in alphabetical order.
