Performance of the Biased Square-Law Sequential Detector in the Absence of Signal.

W. B. Kendall

ResearchPublished 1963

A treatment of the incoherent sequential detection of a sinewave in Gaussian noise by a biased square-law receiver. The average number of pulses that might be integrated in each beam position and the resulting false-alarm probability are calculated. The results presented are the first available exact results for sequential detection with no restrictions on either the input signal-to-noise ratio or on the values of the detection thresholds. 32 pp.
