This is the first book to discuss current and future applications of waveform diversity and design in subjects such as radar and sonar, communications systems, passive sensing, and many other technologies. Waveform diversity allows researchers and system designers to optimize electromagnetic and acoustic systems for sensing, communications, electronic warfare or combinations thereof.

This book enables solutions to problems with how each system performs its own particular function as well as how it is affected by other systems and how those other systems may likewise be affected.
