Detection of a coherent signal of known phase
Abstract
A novel algebraic technique is employed to find asymptotic solutions for Helstrom's integral equation for a single-cavity-mode detector of a coherent signal of known phase. At high and low temperatures, the detection probability is related to the fixed false-alarm probability. When either the decision level or the signal intensity is small, a solution is found for all temperatures.
