This book systematically presents adaptive multichannel signal detection in three types of non-ideal environments, including sample-starved scenario, signal mismatch scenario, and noise plus subspace interference environment.

The authors provide definitions of key concepts, detailed derivations of adaptive multichannel signal detectors, and specific examples for each non-ideal environment. In addition, the possible future trend of adaptive detection methods is discussed, as well as two further research tracks, namely the adaptive detection algorithms based on information geometry and the hybrid approaches that combine adaptive detection algorithms with machine learning algorithms.

The book will be of interest to researchers, advanced undergraduate, and graduate students in sonar, radar signal processing, and communications engineering.
