Duration and bandwidth limiting: prolate functions, sampling, and applications

Increasingly important in the field of communications, the study of time and band limiting is crucial for the modeling and analysis of multiband signals. This concise but comprehensive monograph is the first to be devoted specifically to this subdiscipline, providing a thorough investigation of its theory and applications. Through cutting-edge numerical methods, it develops the tools for applications not only to communications engineering, but also to optical engineering, geosciences, planetary sciences, and biomedicine. With broad coverage and a careful balance between rigor and readability, Duration and Bandwidth Limiting is a particularly original and valuable resource both for mathematicians interested in the field and for professional engineers with an interest intheory. While its main target audience is practicing scientists, the book mayalso serve as useful supplemental reading material for mathematically-based graduate courses in communications and signal processing. Combines research and methods from many sources to present an impressivelycomprehensive analysis. Includes ample discussion of both theory and applications. Features chapter-by-chapter supplemental material illustrating results in further depth and detail. INDICE: Preface. Chapter 1: The Bell Labs Theory. Chapter 2: Numerical Aspects of Time- and Bandlimiting. Chapter 3: Thomson's Multitaper Method and Applications to Channel Modeling. Chapter 4: Time- and Bandlimiting of Multiband Signals. Chapter 5: Sampling of Bandlimited and Multiband Signals. Chapter 6: Time-localized Sampling Approximations. Appendix: Notation and Mathematical Prerequisites. References. Index.
