Signal Detection and Estimation, Second Edition

10.2: BINARY DETECTION

10.2 BINARY DETECTION

In a binary communication problem, the transmitter may send a deterministic signal s 0( t) under the null hypothesis H 0, or a deterministic signal s 1( t) under the alternate hypothesis H 1. At the receiver, the signal is corrupted by W(t), which is an additive white Gaussian noise process. Assume that the additive noise is zero mean and has a double-sided power spectral density of N 0/2. The goal is to design an optimum receiver that observes the received signal Y( t) over the interval t ? [0, T], and then decides whether hypothesis H 0 or hypothesis H 1 is true.

10.2.1 Simple Binary Detection

In a simple binary detection problem, the transmitted signal under hypothesis H 1 is s( t), and no signal is transmitted under the null hypothesis H 0. At the receiver, we have


Note that the signal is a continuous time function. In order to obtain a set of countable random variables so that we may apply the concepts developed in Chapter 5, we need to take K samples, where K may be infinite. However, in Chapter 8, we saw that a continuous time signal may be represented by Karhunen-Lo ve expansion using a set of K complete orthonormal functions. The coefficients in the series expansion are the desired set of random variables.
