Detection of coherent optical signals in generalized Gaussian noise
Abstract
Results of receiver performance for the detection of a coherent light signal in the presence of background radiation are obtained and compared for two different types of background noise: a Gaussian field and a Gaussian field whose complex analytic signal is not circularly symmetric. It is pointed out that the randomness in the noise radiation does not significantly diminish the probability of correct detection.
