Approximate Lower Bound for the SNR of Matched Filters
نویسندگان
چکیده
For the simple binary detection problem of detecting a known signal in the presence of additive noise, the matched.filter is well known to yield the highest output signalto-noise ratio (SNR). When the detection is carried out in discrete time, selecting an optimal Jilter length for a speciJc detection problem is important. Bounds on the SNR of the matched filter can assist in this selection. Exact bounds on the SNR can be computed in terms of the eigenvalues of the noise covariance matrix, but these bounds can be dtjicult to compute. An approximate lower boundfor the SNR has been suggested recently by Martinez and Thomas (see Ref (2) Franklin Inst. VoI. 321, No. 5, pp. 251-260, 1986). A supplement to this bound which is more accurate for small values of jilter length is discussed in this paper. Some examples which delineate a comparison between the two approximate bounds are presented.

Improving the Performance of ICA Algorithm for fMRI Simulated Data Analysis Using Temporal and Spatial Filters in the Preprocessing Phase
Introduction: The accuracy of analyzing Functional MRI (fMRI) data is usually decreases in the presence of noise and artifact sources. A common solution in for analyzing fMRI data having high noise is to use suitable preprocessing methods with the aim of data denoising. Some effects of preprocessing methods on the parametric methods such as general linear model (GLM) have previously been evalua...

متن کاملChapter 6: Matched Filter and the Radar Ambiguity Function
The most unique characteristic of the matched filter is that it produces the maximum achievable instantaneous SNR at its output when a signal plus additive white noise are present at the input. The noise does not need to be Gaussian. The peak instantaneous SNR at the receiver output can be achieved by matching the radar receiver transfer function to the received signal. We will show that the pe...

In this paper, the performance analysis of an energy detector is exploited over composite multipath/shadowing fading channels, which is modeled by Rayleigh-lognormal (RL) distribution. Based on an approximate channel model which was recently proposed by the author, the RL envelope probability density function (pdf) is approximated by a finite sum of weighted Rayleigh pdfs. Relying on this inter...

Approximate dynamic analysis of structures is achieved by fast wavelet transform (FWT). The loads are considered as time history earthquake loads. To reduce the computational work, FWT is used by which the number of points in the earthquake record are reduced. For this purpose, the theory of wavelets together with filter banks are used. The low and high pass filters are used for the decompositi...
