There is an ever increasing interest on the application of Waveform Design and Diversity techniques to adaptive radar signal processing. Increased funding for this research by several National Agencies is attracting more researchers to the area. See e.g. the DARPA Wave-form-Agile Sensing (WAS) program and the AFOSR Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) on adaptive waveform design. This is an authoritative monograph collecting recent results by top quality researchers throughout the World. The book covers the most relevant current research thrusts, such as the fundamentals of waveform design for netted radars, adaptive design of radar waveforms in cluttered environment, the role of a cognitive processing in waveform design and diversity, the theory of bio-inspired radar waveforms, applications of waveform diversity to OTH radars, automotive radars, target discrimination and tracking. This is the first book, in which several quintessential concepts inherent to the application of waveform design and diversity for advanced radar detection, tracking, and classification are brought together.
