On the detection of stochastic signals in additive normal noise: part I.

David Middleton

ResearchPublished 1956

An examination of optimum and suboptimum detection of normal signals in additive normal noise backgrounds. General results for optimum receiver structure, error probabilities, and average risk are obtained for colored noise backgrounds. Threshold reception in white noise backgrounds is investigated. In addition, optimum detector structure for signal processes with rational intensity spectra is determined for the white-noise case.
