Statistical Spectral Analysis: A Non-Probabilistic Theory (Prentice Hall Information and System Sciences Series)
( Part I of the book reformulates the entire problem of s...)
Part I of the book reformulates the entire problem of statistical spectral analysis in terms of time averages instead of the traditional but more abstract ensemble averages. Part II builds on this theory and methodology by extending and generalizing it from statistically stationary data to cyclostationary data. Dr. Nelson Blachman, well known communication systems author, writes: My interest in Dr. Gardner's research is concerned with the advances in cyclostationary signal processing that has been his greatest contribution to electrical engineering research. In fact, Professor Gardner is "Mr. Cyclostationary", the promoter and leading international researcher in this important signal processing area, with two textbooks, numerous papers, and a federal government subsidized workshop to his credit. As a scientist involved with Department of Defense signal processing research aimed at threat analysis of signals related to national security interests, I can indicate to you that Dr. Gardner's work has had profound impact on the analysis of these signals, but classification of the analysis has kept the importance of his work from being known to the general public and others in academia. There is another attribute of Dr. Gardner's research and tutorial material that makes him stand out among so many of my other academic colleagues, and that is his depth of research (especially historical and mathematical detail) and his attention to precision and detail in his writings. I have always found it difficult to find errors and to take issue with any of Professor Gardner's papers because he has meticulously done his research; this is in contrast to so many other academics who tend to be more sloppy in their mathematical precision and who do not always thoroughly check the technical literature in depth. I believe this high degree of professional research has contributed greatly to the widespread acceptance of Dr. Gardner's technical writings as being the preeminent authority on cyclostationary signal processes and their exploitation.

Introduction to Random Processes, With Applications to Signals & Systems, Second Edition
(This text/reference book aims to present a comprehensive ...)
This text/reference book aims to present a comprehensive introduction to the theory of random processes with emphasis on its practical applications to signals and systems. The author shows how to analyze random processes - the signals and noise of a communication system. He also shows how to achieve results in their use and control by drawing on probabilistic concepts and the statistical theory of signal processing. This second edition adds over 50 worked exercises for students and professionals, as well as an additional 100 standard exercises. Recent advances in random process theory and application have been added.
