Required Threshold Settings and Signal-to-Noise Ratios for Combined Normalization and Or-ing

Abstract

The system of interest here includes the combined nonlinear transformations of normalization and or-ing in the data processing chain. The required threshold settings for specified false alarm probabilities are determined, as well as the required input signal-to-noise ratios for specified detection probabilities. Specializations to normalization or or-ing alone are available by particular choices of parameter values built into the models. When the sizes of the transformations are changed, that is, the amount of normalization and/or or-ing, the thresholds will also have to be changed if the earlier probabilities are to be maintained; these options are included in the first program listed.
