This book is intended for use by students, academicians and practicing engineers who in the course of their daily study or research have need for the probability distributions and associated statistics of random variables that are themselves Gaussian or in various forms derived from them. The format of the book is primarily that of a handbook in that, for the most part, the results are merely presented in their final form without derivation or discussion. As such the reader must rely on the typographical accuracy of the documented expressions, which the author has taken great pains to assure....

This book introduces the reader to the concept of an autonomous software-defined radio (SDR) receiver. Each distinct aspect of the design of the receiver is treated in a separate chapter written by one or more leading innovators in the field. Chapters begin with a problem statement and then offer a full mathematical derivation of an appropriate solution, a decision metric or loop-structure as appropriate, and performance results.
