Practical techniques for taking full advantage of the emerging communications engineering trend of waveform diversity

Waveform Diversity explains how to design an optimum set of waveforms that respects constraints on bandwidth, transmit energy, and pulse duration. This is realized by maximizing the signal to interference/noise power ratio at the receiver output so as to maximize the performance of the underlying task such as target detection or data estimation. The book shows how waveform diversity can be exploited spatially using a multiple set of sensors for both transmission and/or reception, and in the time-frequency domain using distinct waveforms of different durations over different spectral bands. The use of other features such as polarization, energy distribution of various transmit signals are also covered in this cutting-edge guide.
