Abstract:

Narrowband interference (NBI) may lead to failure of the time-domain cross-correlation (TDCC) weak signal detection approach since NBI is mistakenly detected as the desired signal. In order to solve this problem, a detection approach based on frequency-domain cross-correlation (FDCC) is proposed. The entire spectrum band is divided into multiple sub-bands, and the corresponding statistical characteristic of each sub-band is derived. Then according to the criterion of one-sided test, a one-bit decision is made in each sub-band. Finally, the decisions of all the sub-bands are processed jointly via the n-out-of-m fusion rule to make the final decision. Simulation results show that the proposed approach is promising for suppressing NBI and it distinctively outperforms the TDCC detection approach.
