Receiver Operating Characteristics for Phase-Incoherent Detection of Multiple Observations

Abstract

Receiver operating characteristics for phase-incoherent detection of M multiple observations are presented, for a wide range of values of M and signal-to-noise ratio. Comparison with a processor capable of coherently summing up all M signal components is made. The additional signal-to-noise ratio required for the phase-incoherent combiner is found to be greater at the lower false-alarm and detection probabilities.
