Optimum reception in non-Gaussian electromagnetic interference environments. Part 2: Optimum and suboptimum threshold signal detection in class A and B noise

The general theory of optimum and suboptimum detection of threshold (i.e., weak) signals in highly nongaussian interference environments is developed. Both signal processing algorithms and performance measures are obtained canonicaly, and specifically for both narrowband and broadband interference environments. Suboptimum systems are also treated and a number of numerical examples are included which illustrate the determination of performance and performance comparisons. An extensive set of appendices contains many of the analytic details developed and presented here as well as the required computational algorithms.
