Random signals and noise are present in many engineering systemsand networks. Signal processing techniques allow engineers todistinguish between useful signals in audio, video orcommunication equipment, and interference, which disturbsthe desired signal.
With a strong mathematical grounding, this text provides a clearintroduction to the fundamentals of stochastic processes and theirpractical applications to random signals and noise. With workedexamples, problems, and detailed appendices, Introduction toRandom Signals and Noise gives the reader the knowledge todesign optimum systems for effectively coping with unwantedsignals.
Key features:
* Considers a wide range of signals and noise, includinganalogue, discrete-time and bandpass signals in both time andfrequency domains.
* Analyses the basics of digital signal detection using matchedfiltering, signal space representation and correlationreceiver.
* Examines optimal filtering methods and their consequences.
* Presents a detailed discussion of the topic of Poissonprocesses and shot noise.
An excellent resource for professional engineers developingcommunication systems, semiconductor devices, and audio and videoequipment, this book is also ideal for senior undergraduate andgraduate students in Electronic and Electrical Engineering.
