Abstract :
In this study we analyze the performance of a class of detectors for deterministic signals with unknown amplitudes. We derive the test statistic and evaluate the performance in AWGN and some fading channels. The results help to give a better insight into the effect of number of recieved samples for the detector and its general performance. We compare our results to the classic energy detector and validate with Monte Carlo simulations in both cases.
