Detection Estimation and Modulation Theory, Part I (eBook)

HARRY L. VAN TREES, ScD., received his BSc. from the United States Military Academy and his ScD. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. During his fourteen years as a Professor of Electrical Engineering at MIT, he wrote Parts I, II, and III of the DEMT series. On loan from MIT, he served in four senior DoD positions including Chief Scientist of the U.S. Air Force and Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (C3I). Returning to academia as an endowed professor at George Mason University, he founded the C3I Center and published Part IV of the DEMT series, Optimum Array Processing. He is currently a University Professor Emeritus. KRISTINE L. BELL, PhD, is a Senior Scientist at Metron, Inc., and an affiliate faculty member in the Statistics Department at George Mason University. She coedited with Dr. Van Trees the Wiley-IEEE book Bayesian Bounds for Parameter Estimation and Nonlinear Filtering/Tracking. ZHI TIAN, PhD, is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Michigan Technological University. She is a Fellow of the IEEE.
