（eWiley） Optimum Array Processing

Array processing has played an important. role in many diverse application areas. Most modern radar and sonar systems rely on antenna arrays or hydrophone arrays as an essential component of the system. Many commu- nication systems utilize phased arrays or multiple beam antennas to achieve their performance objectives. Seismic arrays are widely used for oil explo- ration and detection of underground nuclear tests. Various medical diagnosis and treatment techniques exploit arrays. Radio astronomy utilizes very large antenna arrays to achieve resolution goals. It appears that the third genera- tion of wireless systems will utilize adaptive array processing to achieve the desired system capacity.
