Signal Processing: Model Based Approach (MCGRAW HILL SERIES IN ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER ENGINEERING)

This book presents the fundamental concepts underlying model-based signal processing. The emphasis is on the practical design of these processors using popular techniques; each type of processor is developed in the unified `model-based' framework,and examples and computer simulations are heavily employed as a teaching aide. The book presupposes a course in stochastic processes and basic linear system theory (z-transforms and state space). Using only as much theory as is needed,the author makes clear the concepts and techniques of model-based estimation,which were once only accessible to specialists in this area. This is valuable practical knowledge for prospective engineers in navigation,data processing,economics,aircraft systems,weapons development,radar,sonar and other areas,where model-based estimation is part of their everyday tasks.
