<p>Beamforming: Sensor Signal Processing for Defence Applications presents a range of important research contributions concerned with sensor array signal processing and, in particular, with the superresolution beamformers fundamental to many civilian and defence applications. Both space and space-time (STAP) beamforming algorithms and their application to radar systems are considered with emphasis given to "look-down" airborne radars, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), arrayed MIMO radar and a number of common wake-wave detection algorithms for two-dimensional SAR imagery. Furthermore, ocean towed arrays, which find applications in a variety of areas such as defence, oil and gas exploration, and geological and marine life studies, are also considered paying particular attention to receiver positional uncertainties resulting from the array's flexible structure. Array geometrical and electrical uncertainties, design of auto-calibration algorithms, beamforming "pointing" error uncertainties and robustification issues are also presented.</p>
<p>This book is self-contained and unified in its presentation, and comprehensively covers some of the classic and fundamental models of beamforming for sensor signal processing. It is suitable as an advanced textbook for graduate students and researchers in the area of signal processing, as well as a reference book for engineers in the defence industry.</p>

“This book tries to tackle a very difficult problem in array processing using a more cohesive mathematical structure, and provides some array processing applications' specific results. It is a useful addition to the array processing literature.” Mathematical Reviews “The text is short considering the number of ideas presented, but it is very well written and explained. It would be the ideal companion to the author's many excellent papers on the subject from which the book is largely drawn. It is readable, has a logical progression and the narrative is supported by good diagrams. It is highly recommended.” International Journal of Numerical Modelling: Electronic Networks, Devices and Fields In view of the significance of the array manifold in array processing and array communications, the role of differential geometry as an analytical tool cannot be overemphasized. Differential geometry is mainly confined to the investigation of the geometric properties of manifolds in threedimensional Euclidean space R3 and in real spaces of higher dimension. Extending the theoretical framework to complex spaces, this invaluable book presents a summary of those results of differential geometry which are of practical interest in the study of linear, planar and threedimensional array geometries.
