A New Hos-based Model for Signal Detection in Non-gaussian Noise: an Application to Underwater Acoustic Communications
نویسنده
چکیده
In the context of digital signal processing addressed to underwater acoustic communications, this work focuses attention on the optimization of detection of weak signals in presence of additive independent stationary non-Gaussian noise. In order to detect signals in the case of low SNR values, the selected binary statistical testing approach consists in a Locally Optimum Detector (LOD), designed on the basis of a new proposed HOS-based model of non-Gaussian noise probability density function (pdf). In particular, an "asymmetric Gaussian" pdf model is introduced, in order to describe realistically non-Gaussian noise in a very simple way. The resulting test has been compared with the Gaussianhypothesis LOD test. Experimental results have shown significant advantages in modelling noise pdf on the basis of the proposed pdf function; they derive from the application of the LOD test for detecting known deterministic signals corrupted by real acoustic ship-traffic-radiated noise.

HOS-based noise models for signal-detection optimization in non-Gaussian environments
Two pdf models suitable for describing non-Gaussian iid noise are introduced. The models are used in the design of a LOD test for detecting weak signals in real non-Gaussian noise. Results obtained in the context of an underwater acoustic application are encouraging.
متن کاملSignal Detection in Non-gaussian Noise by a Kurtosis-based Probability Density Function Model
The problem of HOS-based signal detection methods applied in real communication systems is addressed. The Locally Optimum (LO) criterion is selected from a large number of detection criteria. It can be applied either under the ideal (but often not realistic) assumption of Gaussian background noise, or on the basis of realistic statistical models of channel noise. Conventional Fourier analysis (...
متن کاملApplication to locally optimum detection of a new noise model
The work is addressed to provide realistic modelling of a generic noise probability density function (pdf), in order to optimize signal detection in non-Gaussian environments. The target is to obtain a model depending on few parameters (quick and easy to estimate), and so general to be able to describe many kinds of noise (e.g., symmetric or asymmetric, with variable sharpness). To this end, a ...

Challenges in signal detection in the presence of noise arise in many underwater acoustic applications such as active and passive sonar, geophysical surveying, and marine life monitoring. The detection problem is generally formulated within the framework of binary hypothesis testing. An important class of detectors, known as the locally optimum detectors, are designed based on the expectation t...
