Operating Characteristics of an Or-ing and Selection Processor with Pre- and Post-Averaging

Abstract

The operating characteristics, namely detection probability vs. false alarm probability, are derived and evaluated for a multi-channel input signal- to-noise ratio, the number of input channels, the amount of pre-averaging prior to or-ing, and the amount of post-averaging after selection can be varied in order to investigate the tradeoffs between the various parameters. A wide variety of results are plotted, along with simulation results that verify the analysis. Keywords: Sonar.
