The problem of selecting auto- and cross-terms of time-frequency distributions (TFDs) of nonstationary signals impinging on a multi-antenna receiver is considered. A detection approach is introduced which allows performance measurement and comparison of various schemes via receiver operating characteristics. Array averaging and array differencing techniques are both employed to form a basis for time-frequency (t-f) point selection. The proposed classification method is evaluated against the bootsrap-based method. It is shown that the former offers improved performance and simplified implementations.
