Sonar, radar and laser radar have evolved to the point where many commercial, scientific and military applications exist for these sensing systems. Each of these sensors involves problems peculiar to themselves. This comprehensive treatment deals with solutions to the problems currently associated with signal detection by the application of a variety of subsets of communication and estimation theory. The text covers such topics as noise and random processes, noise statistics, how to detect signals in noise, waveform analysis, non-coherent detection of a single pulse and more.
