Detection Performance of Time-Frequency Coded Signal
Abstract
A comparison between nonparametric Wilcoxon tests with time-frequency coded signal in detecting a train of narrow-band signal pulses on a background of Gaussian distribution clutter is made. The detection performance is derived, and shows a gain in Signal-to-Noise.Ratio about (5-10) dB for the same probability of detection , and a given probability of false alarm , using the number of return pulses M as a parameter.
