  • Abstract
    The effective difference in sensitivity between two types of detection threshold is derived. They are a single threshold placed on the envelope of a complex signal, and a pair of thresholds placed on the modulus of each of the resolved quadrature components. It is shown that the loss which results for the sub-optimal case is acceptably small.
