Fundamentals of Acoustic Field Theory and Space-Time Signal Processing

Providing a wealth of information on fundamental topics in the areas of linear air and underwater acoustics as well as space-time signal processing this book provides real-world design and analysis equations. As a consequence of the interdisciplinary nature of air and underwater acoustics the book is divided into two parts: Acoustic Field Theory and Space-Time Signal Processing. It covers the fundamentals of acoustic wave propagation as well as the fundamentals of aperture theory array theory and signal processing. Starting with principles and using a consistent mainly standard notation this book develops in detail basic results that are useful in a variety of air and underwater acoustic applications. Numerous figures examples and problems are included.
