Sparse Arrays for Radar, Sonar, and Communications

Specialized resource providing detailed coverage of recent advances in theory and applications of sparse arrays Sparse Arrays for Radar, Sonar, and Communications discusses various design approaches of sparse arrays, including those seeking to increase the corresponding one-dimensional and two-dimensional virtual array apertures, as well as others that configure the arrays based on solutions of constrained minimization problems. The latter includes statistical bounds and signal-to-interference and noise ratio; in this respect, the book utilizes the recent strides made in convex optimizations and machine learning for sparse array configurability in both fixed and dynamic environments. Similar ideas are presented for sparse array-waveform design. The book also discusses the role of sparse arrays in improving target detection and resolution in radar, improving channel capacity in massive MIMO, and improving underwater target localization in sonar. It covers different sparse array topologies, and provides various approaches that deliver the optimum and semi-optimum sparse array transceivers. Edited by a world-leading expert in Radar and Signal Processing and contributed to by world-class researchers in their respective fields, Sparse Arrays for Radar, Sonar, and Communications covers topics including: Utilizing sparse arrays in emerging technologies and showing their offerings in various sensing and communications applications Applying sparse arrays to different environments; obtaining superior performances over conventional uniform arrays Solving the localization, beamforming, and direction-finding problems using non-uniform array structures for narrowband and wideband signals Designing sparse array structures for both stationary and moving platforms that produce…
