Detection of Signals in Noise using Single Channel Receivers.

Abstract

A single-channel receiving system capable of detecting low power signals and of determining their angle of arrival is presented. The technique is based on the correlation of a signal with its reflection. The effect of noise is considered, and the feasibility of detecting a signal for which the autocorrelation is known is given. The description of a practical system which was constructed is provided, and the results of operation of this receiving system in the UHF band are presented. (Author)
