Sparse sensing and sparsity sensed in multi-sensor array applications

The book focuses on sparse multi-sensor array systems and design approaches. Both principles and engineering practice have been addressed, with more weight placed on algorithm development. This is achieved by providing an in-depth study on sparse sensing for several major multi-sensor array applications such as beam-pattern synthesis, adaptive beamforming, target detection, arrival angle estimation, and dual-functional radar communications. Sparsity sensed in multi-sensor arrays refers to the sparse property of the spatial spectrum sensed. The exploitation of the sparsity in the sensed can significantly enhance the performance of signal processing systems. The comprehensive and systematic treatment of theory and practice in different array applications is one of the major features of the book, which is particularly suited for readers who are interested to learn practical solutions in array signal processing. The book benefits researchers, engineers, and graduate students in the fields of signal processing, electrical engineering, telecommunications, etc.
