This book provides an overview and introduction to signal detection and

estimation. The book contains numerous examples solved in detail. Since some

material on signal detection could be very complex and require a lot of background

in engineering math, a chapter and various sections to cover such background are

included, so that one can easily understand the intended material. Probability

theory and stochastic processes are prerequisites to the fundamentals of signal

detection and parameter estimation. Consequently, Chapters 1, 2, and 3 carefully

cover these topics. Chapter 2 covers the different distributions that may arise in

radar and communication systems. The chapter is presented in such a way that one

may not need to use other references
