1.1 Introduction Several review articles on sonar,1’3-5 radar,2,3 and medical imaging3,6-14 system technologies have provided a detailed description of the mainstream signal processing functions along with their associated imple­ mentation considerations. The attempt o f this handbook is to extend the scope of these articles by introducing an implementation effort o f non-mainstream processing schemes in real-time systems. To a large degree, work in the area of sonar and radar system technology has traditionally been funded either directly or indirectly by governments and military agencies in an attempt to improve the capability of anti-submarine warfare (ASW) sonar and radar systems. A secondary aim of this handbook is to promote, where possible, wider dissemination o f this military-inspired research.
