This research in the area of communications and signal processing will          make contributions to problems in detection, estimation, and modeling           of signals.  Solutions to many problems of this nature depend upon the          enhancement of the signal-to-noise ration (SNR).  A fundamental                 investigation of theperformance bounds for system design will be                conducted.  Of particular interest is the enhancement of SNR when the           signal characteristics and the noisecharacteristics are so alike that           separation and improvement become difficult.  Perturbation analysis             will be used to understand the fundamental performance of SNR                   enhancement.  Further, previous approaches will be extended to a more           general formulation, and the very large scale integrated (VLSI)                 implementation of the proposed algorithms will be studied.  The results         of the investigation will be applied to such communication problems as          intersymbol and interchannel interference in data transmission and in           signal processing problems such as speech analysis in noise.
