Detection of Slowly Fluctuating Point Targets.

In Chapter 9 the author discusses the problem of detecting a slowly fluctuating point target at a particular range and velocity. First, he assumes that the only interference is additive white Gaussian noise and develops the optimum receiver and evaluates its performance. He then considers nonwhite Gaussian noise and finds the optimum receiver and its performance. He uses complex state-variable theory to obtain complete solutions for the nonwhite noise case. The final topic in the chapter is a brief discussion of signal design. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
