Abstract
The detection of periodic signals of arbitrary wave shape
with random time delay in additive white Gaussian noise, is a
problem of practical significance in radar and communication
applications.
In this thesis, the analysis and design of optimum and
suboptimum receivers for detecting signals as described above
has been carried out. The design of optimum (in minimum probability
of error, P sense) receivers is based on the likelihood
ratio test under the assumption of low SNR conditions. The
design of suboptimum receivers is based on heuristic
approaches that intuitively yield reasonably good performance.
Examples have been analyzed in order to present numerical
results in graphical form on the performance of the receivers
under different assumptions of wave shapes and p.d.f. on the
random time delay associated with the signal.
