Optimum Array Processing (detection, Estimation... (2025)

According to Wiley Online Books and Van Trees' curriculum , the field is built on several pillars:

Determining if a signal is present in a noisy environment.

Calculating critical parameters like the signal's spatial location, energy, or phase.

Optimum Array Processing is a specialized field of signal processing that focuses on the joint processing of signals received by spatially separated sensors (antennas, microphones, or hydrophones). This field is most famously codified in definitive series, Detection, Estimation, and Modulation Theory . Core Objectives
