Practical Statistical Signal Processing Using MATLAB<br />

with <strong>Radar</strong>, <strong>Sonar</strong>, Communications, Speech & Imaging Applications<br />

Summary<br />

This four-day course covers signal processing<br />

systems for radar, sonar, communications, speech,<br />

imaging and other applications based on state-of-theart<br />

computer algorithms. These algorithms include<br />

important tasks such as data simulation, parameter<br />

estimation, filtering, interpolation, detection, spectral<br />

analysis, beamforming, classification, and tracking.<br />

Until now these algorithms could only be learned by<br />

reading the latest technical journals. This course will<br />

take the mystery out of these designs by introducing<br />

the algorithms with a minimum of mathematics and<br />

illustrating the key ideas via numerous examples using<br />

MATLAB.<br />

Designed for engineers, scientists, and other<br />

professionals who wish to study the practice of<br />

statistical signal processing without the headaches,<br />

this course will make extensive use of hands-on<br />

MATLAB implementations and demonstrations.<br />

Attendees will receive a suite of software source code<br />

and are encouraged to bring their own laptops to follow<br />

along with the demonstrations.<br />

Each participant will receive two books<br />

Fundamentals of Statistical Signal Processing: Vol. I<br />

and Vol. 2 by instructor Dr. Kay. A complete set of notes<br />

and a suite of MATLAB m-files will be distributed in<br />

source format for direct use or modification by the user.<br />

Instructor<br />

Dr. Steven Kay is a Professor of Electrical<br />

<strong>Engineering</strong> at the University of<br />

Rhode Island and the President of<br />

Signal Processing <strong>Systems</strong>, a<br />

consulting firm to industry and the<br />

government. He has over 25 years<br />

of research and development<br />

experience in designing optimal<br />

statistical signal processing algorithms for radar,<br />

sonar, speech, image, communications, vibration,<br />

and financial data analysis. Much of his work has<br />

been published in over 100 technical papers and<br />

the three textbooks, Modern Spectral Estimation:<br />

Theory and Application, Fundamentals of<br />

Statistical Signal Processing: Estimation Theory,<br />

and Fundamentals of Statistical Signal<br />

Processing: Detection Theory. Dr. Kay is a Fellow<br />

of the IEEE.<br />
