Digital spectral analysis with applications

Abstract: This new book provides a broad perspective of spectral estimation techniques and their implementation. It concerned with spectral estimation of discretespace sequences derived by sampling continuousspace signals. Among its key features, the book: · Emphasizes the behavior of each spectral estimator for short data records. · Provides 35 computer programs, including fast algorithms. · Provides the theoretical background and review material in linear systems, Fourier transforms matrix algebra, random processes, and statics. · Summarizes classical spectral estimation as it is practiced today. · Covers Prony’s method, parametric methods, the minimum variance method, eigenanalysis-based estimators, multichannel methods, and twodimensional methods. · Includes problems. · Contains appendices that cover Sunspot Numbers, Complex Test Data, Temperature Data, and Program Conversion for Complex-to-Real Case. Of Special Interest A disk is included that has a double-sides 360kB format readable by any personal computer with an MS-DOS 2 or 3 operating system, such as the IBM XT or AT.

Nonlinear subsidence rate estimation using permanent scatterers in differential SAR interferometry

Abstract: Discrete and temporarily stable natural reflectors or permanent scatterers (PS) can be identified from long temporal series of interferometric SAR images even with baselines larger than the so-called critical baseline. This subset of image pixels can be exploited successfully for high accuracy differential measurements. The authors discuss the use of PS in urban areas, like Pomona, CA, showing subsidence and absidence effects. A new approach to the estimation of the atmospheric phase contributions, and the local displacement field is proposed based on simple statistical assumptions. New solutions are presented in order to cope with nonlinear motion of the targets.
