Optimum double-matched detection and its application to SSMA systems

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the issue of optimum detection of known signal in nonwhite noise and/or narrow-band interference. The detection is carried out in three steps. First, some function related to the power spectrum of interfering process I(z) is estimated via adaptation. Second, the signal interference is whitened due to I(z). Third, the replica of signal is filtered via I(z) to match it to the deformed signal in the previous step. The simulation of SS reception in presence of NB interference shows a high gain in comparison to classical single-matched detection.
