Design Of A Nonparametric Detector For Fm Signals, James Charles Fowler Jan 1967

Design Of A Nonparametric Detector For Fm Signals, James Charles Fowler

Masters Theses

"The communication engineer has in the past treated the detection problem from a parametric point of view. That is, the signal has been assumed to be of a known deterministic form and the noise of a known statistical form. This approach has proved valuable in many cases, but it is subject to severe limitations, e.g., if either the noise or signal change form, a new detector must be designed. Because of these limitations there is a need to find a more general form of detector.

This study looks at a specific statistic (the Cramér-von Mises statistic) and designs a detector …
