Gravitational wave: Generation and detection techniques.

In this paper, we review the theoretical basis for generation of gravitational waves and the detection techniques used to detect a gravitational wave. To materialize this goal in a thorough way, we first start with a mathematical background for general relativity from which a clue for gravitational wave was conceived by Einstein. Thereafter, we give the classification scheme of gravitational waves such as (i) continuous gravitational waves, (ii) compact binary inspiral gravitational waves and (iii) stochastic gravitational wave. Necessary mathematical insight into gravitational waves from binaries is also dealt with which follows detection of gravitational waves based on the frequency classification. Ground-based observatories as well as space borne gravitational wave detectors are discussed in a length. We have provided an overview on the inflationary gravitational waves. In connection to data analysis by matched filtering there are a few highlights on the techniques, e.g. (i) random noise, (ii) power spectrum, (iii) shot noise and (iv) Gaussian noise. Optimal detection statistics for a gravitational wave detection is also in the pipeline of the discussion along with detailed necessity of the matched filter and deep learning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
