The purpose of this paper is to clarify the relationship between three different criteria for optimization of acoustic signal detection. Specifically, the maximization of array gain, the minimization of signal distortion, and the evaluation of the Neyman-Pearson likelihood ratio are shown to yield equivalent results at a single frequency.
