Optimum design can improve signal detection, interference, and noise suppression across various disciplines that utilize waveforms, including radar, sonar, and communications. This book explains the role of transmitter and receiver waveform design to boost overall performance.  This monograph covers joint transmitter receiver design, optimum design methods, constant envelope transmit signals, and sparsity-based receivers. proven methods for mitigating noise and clutter and maximizing output signal power are included in this practical guide.
