Probability of completing a search during a prescribed time period
Abstract
A generating-function approach for determining the probability of completing signal search in a prescribed time period is described. Attention is given to the relationship between the tail of the distribution of signal-search time on the time axis and the form of the generating function of this distribution. An example, the generating-function approach is applied to a radar problem and a synchronization problem.
