| Summary: | In a communication system, a goal of the receiver is to be optimum, even robust. Huber developed the statistical approach that led to the now classic robust signal detector, and Strassen shortly thereafter refined the approach. Using only the form of the Huber-Strassen robust signal detector, previously developed geometric methods to obtain measures of detector robustness for the false alarm rate are applied. The detector's censoring height is then varied, allowing for a variety of possible robustness and performance options. To analyze the possible tradeoff between performance and robustness, a cost function is used to allow the designer to specify different mixes of performance and robustness by choice of the censoring height. |
