A Robust Detection Scheme with Fixed Thresholds for Amplitude Shift Keyed Signals.
Abstract
A class of Robust Detection Schemes for the detection of a class of time varying signals in additive disturbance are proposed and analyzed and their performance is evaluated. The proposed detection schemes are applicable for the detection of both binary and M-ary Amplitude Shift Keyed Signals. Two detection schemes are proposed for solving the detection problem where the samples of the received signal contain pure signal components that are all unequal. These detection schemes are designated as nonparametric detection scheme and Detection Scheme with Fixed Thresholds (DSFT). The performance of these detectors is compared with that of the Least Squares Detector. It is observed that the proposed detection schemes are robust and generally lead to lower probability of error. The asymptotic relative efficiency for the detectors is shown to be greater than unity under a variety of noise conditions. The performance of the proposed detectors is immune to intersymbol interference if it is assumed that the intersymbol interference can be replaced by an unknown constant. These detectors lead to other advantages such as being unaffected by unknown amounts of DC drifts or changes in the mean values of the noise. (Author)
