Summary

Summary

For the first time in one book, this unique volume brings together major new developments in optimal and adaptive multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) radar and knowledge-aided (KA) processing. These breakthroughs yield an entirely new dynamic radar architecture that possesses unprecedented capabilities for adaptation in challenging real-world environments. This practical resource includes many illustrative examples that help the reader with a number of diverse applications, from optimizing detection of weak targets in complex interference backgrounds, to target identification. Although packed with cutting-edge material, this book is written in an accessible style consistent with the author's previously well-received Space-Time Adaptive Processing for Radar (Artech House, 2003). Book jacket.
