Description:
Various methods for detecting narrow-band signals are evaluated. The characteristics of synchronized and unsynchronized pulses are examined. Synchronous, square law, regular pulse, and the general form detections are discussed. The CW, single pulse, synchronous, and four pulse detections are analyzed in terms of false alarm rate and threshold relative to average noise power. Techniques for saving memory and retaining sensitivity are described. Consideration is given to nondrifting CW detection, asynchronous pulse detection, interpolative and extrapolative pulse detectors, and finite and infinite pulses.
