Distribution results for a multi-rank version of the Reed-Yu detector
TL;DR: This paper revisits a detector first derived by Reed and Yu, and generalizes this distribution for the case of a MIMO channel, and shows that the CFAR detector statistic is distributed as the product of independent scalar beta random variables under the null.

Covariance-invariant signal processing
Louis L. Scharf,J. Perl +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper a technique is outlined for synthesizing discrete-time systems and signals which are covariance-invariant with corresponding continuous-time Systems and signals, and it is argued that the method of covariance -invariance is superior to the methods of impulse-Invariance and bilinear-z as a response matching design technique for the synthesis of digital filters.

The Karhunen-Loeve expansion of improper complex random signals with applications in detection
TL;DR: The improper version of the Karhunen-Loeve expansion is derived to solve the problem of detecting non-stationary improper complex random signals in additive white Gaussian noise and the performance of conventional processing is compared with processing that takes these into account.

Classification of underwater mine-like and non-mine-like objects using canonical correlations
TL;DR: In this article, a feature extraction method for underwater target classification is developed that exploits the linear dependence (coherence) between two sonar returns, and a canonical coordinate decomposition is applied to resolve two consecutive acoustic backscattered signals into their dominant canonical coordinates.
