Some Properties of a Generalized Moving-Window Binary Detector.

Abstract

For a pulsed binary detector system, when one is given the probability that a target register a 1 is p sub k, where k indexes the relative position of the target with respect to the edge (or some arbitrary benchmark) of the antenna pattern, both the optimum linear detector and the likelihood ratio detector are shown to be weighted moving windows. A rigorous formula for the probability of detection of a moving window is derived (for the case p sub k is a constant) which consists of a finite series, of which the first few terms suffice for reasonable accuracy.
