  • Abstract
    The detection of an unknown signal in noise is usually through energy measurement. But the energy detector is not optimal for most practical signals. The proposed convolution detector in this paper can outperform the energy detector, when the signal is a rectangular pulse, over a range of signal-to-noise ratios. Comparisons of the performances of the two detectors are by theoretical and experimental receiver operating characteristic curves
