Detection Performance Degradation Due to Signal Uncertainties

Abstract

Detection of a known signal in white noise using a matched filter depends on the signal-to-noise ratio (signal energy to noise spectral density). As the uncertainties of signal characteristics, such as phase and amplitude, increase, the required SNR must be increased in order to maintain the same detection performance.
