Beyond offering an outstanding introduction to the principles and applications of advanced signal processing, this handbook presents the most recent theoretical and practical developments in the field. Expert contributors identify applications and assess the impact of and improvements in radar, sonar, and medical imaging systems. This handbook develops a generic processing structure, based on the similarities between radar, sonar, and medical imaging systems, to present an introduction to these new principles and applications. Bridging a number of related fields, it guides the reader into the next generation of active and passive real-time systems.
