Detection Performance Considerations for Direct-Sequence and Time-Hopping LPI Waveforms
A. Polydoros, Christoph Johannes Weber · IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications · 1985
The implementation and performance of wide-band detectors for direct-sequence and time-hopping spread-spectrum waveforms in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise are considered in this paper. Of interest here is the performance penalty incurred when going from optimal to suboptimal detector structures. In both cases, performance is quantified by appropriately defined distance measures and is ultimately compared to that of the simplest hypothesis-discriminating device, namely, the energy detector (radiometer).
