Robust Signal Processing Theory for Synthesis and Analysis of Spatial Wavefields

The project will develop a systematic signal processing theory for synthesis and analysis of broadband signals, defined over time and three dimensional space, which are constrained by laws of physics. The project fills a gap in the signal processing theory, particularly synthesis of complex wavefields and have wider applications in audio/acoustic systems, secure wireless communications, surveillance systems and bio-medical systems. The natural basis decomposition of physical wave propagation will be used to develop signals theory for constrained fields. The proposal contributes to the development of long term research capability through the research training of PhD students and early career researchers.
