Abstract :
This paper describes a method of detecting the characteristics of an electrical pulse by means of moments that are integrals of the instantaneous pulse amplitude and integral powers of time. Application of this method to detection in band-limited systems in the presence of noise is considered. Theoretical calculations are presented in the form of curves showing the required signal-to-noise ratios for various speeds of signalling. These curves illustrate the inherent flexibility of moment detection, and make possible a comparison between moment and amplitude detection.
