Cyclostationarity in Communications and Signal Processing

Cyclostationarity in Communications and Signal Processing by Gardner, William A.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780780310230.

By providing a comprehensive collection of contributions on the history and current state of the art in this rapidly emerging field, this book gives you a complete survey of the theory, applications, and mathematics of cyclo-stationarity. It brings together the latest work in the field by the foremost experts and presents it in a tutorial fashion. From this book, you will learn new concepts, methods, and algorithms for performing signal processing tasks and designing and analyzing communications systems. Cyclostationarity in Communications and Signal Processing features both broad chapters and more narrowly focused articles that provide in-depth surveys reviewing the newest developments in specific areas. The tutorial style, coupled with the comprehensive reference lists that are provided, make this book instrumental in furthering progress in understanding and using cyclostationarity in all fields where it arises. Dr. Nelson Blachman, well known communication systems author, writes: My interest in Dr. Gardners research is concerned with the advances in cyclostationary signal processing that has been his greatest contribution to electrical engineering research. In fact, Professor Gardner is "Mr. Cyclostationary", the promoter and leading international researcher in this important signal processing area, with two textbooks, numerous papers, and a federal government subsidized workshop to his credit. As a scientist involved with Department of Defense signal processing research aimed at threat analysis of signals related to national security interests, I can indicate to you that Dr. Gardners work has had profound impact on the analysis of these signals, but classification of the analysis has kept the importance of his work from being known to the general public and others in academia. There is another attribute of Dr. Gardners research and tutorial material that makes him stand out among so many of my other academic colleagues, and that is his depth of research (especially historical and mathematical detail) and his attention to precision and detail in his writings. I have always found it difficult to find errors and to take issue with any of Professor Gardners papers because he has meticulously done his research; this is in contrast to so many other academics who tend to be more sloppy in their mathematical precision and who do not always thoroughly check the technical literature in depth. I believe this high degree of professional research has contributed greatly to the widespread acceptance of Dr. Gardners technical writings as being the preeminent authority on cyclostationary signal processes and their exploitation.
