Detectability of spread-spectrum signals
Abstract
Theoretical and practical aspects of spread-spectrum signal detection are analyzed, with the aim of providing methods for (1) minimizing the detection probability of a proposed signal structure or (2) designing intercept systems to detect a given type of signal. Topics examined include single-filter and filter-bank energy detection, frequency-scanning receivers, detection in nonstationary non-Gaussian environments, the calculation of detection-system performance, adjustments for losses, systems that alarm on any threshold crossing, binary moving-window detection, calculations for frequency-scanning systems, azimuth scanning, and the effects of signal structure on detectability.
