Multichannel signal detection in interference and noise when signal mismatch happens
share
In this paper, we consider the problem of detecting a multichannel signal in interference and noise when signal mismatch happens. We first propose two selective detectors, since their strong selectivity is preferred in some situations. However, these two detectors would not be suitable candidates if a robust detector is needed. To overcome this shortcoming, we then devise a tunable detector, which is parametrized by a non-negative scaling factor, referred to as the tunable parameter. By adjusting the tunable parameter, the proposed detector can smoothly change its capability in rejecting or robustly detecting a mismatch signal. Moreover, one selective detector and the tunable detector with an appropriate tunable parameter can provide nearly the same detection performance as existing detectors in the absence of signal mismatch. We obtain analytical expressions for the probabilities of detection (PDs) and probabilities of false alarm (PFAs) of the three proposed detectors, which are verified by Monte Carlo simulations.
