Signal Selection at Low Signal-to-Noise Ratio.

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the use of distance measures such as the divergence, Bhattacharyya distance, mutual information for signal selection particularly at low signal-to-noise ratio. Although signal selection is more difficult at low signal-to-noise, these measures are generally effective. However, they do not noramlly provide the same choice of signals. The problem areas considered are the detection of known signal in additive Gaussian noise, noncoherent detection of signal of unknown amplitude and phase, detection or Poisson processes with unequal mean value functions, diversity reception, and radar parameter estimation.
