This graduate-level text provides a language for understanding, unifying, and implementing a wide variety of algorithms for digital signal processing - in particular, to provide rules and procedures that can simplify or even automate the task of writing code for the newest parallel and vector machines. It thus bridges the gap between digital signal processing algorithms and their implementation on a variety of computing platforms. The mathematical concept of tensor product is a recurring theme throughout the book, since these formulations highlight the data flow, which is especially important on supercomputers. Because of their importance in many applications, much of the discussion centres on algorithms related to the finite Fourier transform and to multiplicative FFT algorithms.

The aim of this work is to present several topics in time-frequency analysis as subjects in abelian group theory. The algebraic point of view pre dominates as questions of convergence are not considered. Our approach emphasizes the unifying role played by group structures on the development of theory and algorithms. This book consists of two main parts. The first treats Weyl-Heisenberg representations over finite abelian groups and the second deals with mul tirate filter structures over free abelian groups of finite rank. In both, the methods are dimensionless and coordinate-free and apply to one and multidimensional problems. The selection of topics is not motivated by mathematical necessity but rather by simplicity. We could have developed Weyl-Heisenberg theory over free abelian groups of finite rank or more generally developed both topics over locally compact abelian groups. However, except for having to dis cuss conditions for convergence, Haar measures, and other standard topics from analysis the underlying structures would essentially be the same. A re cent collection of papers 17] provides an excellent review of time-frequency analysis over locally compact abelian groups. A further reason for limiting the scope of generality is that our results can be immediately applied to the design of algorithms and codes for time frequency processing."

Developing algorithms for multi-dimensional Fourier transforms, this book presents results that yield highly efficient code on a variety of vector and parallel computers. By emphasising the unified basis for the many approaches to both one-dimensional and multidimensional Fourier transforms, this book not only clarifies the fundamental similarities, but also shows how to exploit the differences in optimising implementations. It will thus be of great interest not only to applied mathematicians and computer scientists, but also to seismologists, high-energy physicists, crystallographers, and electrical engineers working on signal and image processing.

This book develops theory and algorithms leading to systematic waveform design in time-frequency space. The key tool employed in the work is the Zak transform, which provides a two-dimensional image for sequences, the Fourier transform, convolution, and correlation, and allows for the design of sequences directly in Zak space. Application areas covered include pulse radars and sonars, multibeam radar and sonar imaging systems, remote dielectric material identification, and code division multiple-access communication systems. This is an excellent reference text for graduate students, researchers, and engineers in radar, sonar, and communication systems.
