This book provides comprehensive coverage of the detection and
processing of signals in underwater acoustics. Background material on
active and passive sonar systems, underwater acoustics, and statistical
signal processing makes the book a self-contained and valuable resource
for graduate students, researchers, and active practitioners alike.
Signal detection topics span a range of common signal types including
signals of known form such as active sonar or communications signals;
signals of unknown form, including passive sonar and narrowband signals;
and transient signals such as marine mammal vocalizations. This text,
along with its companion volume on beamforming, provides a thorough
treatment of underwater acoustic signal processing that speaks to its
author's broad experience in the field.
