Description
Summary:In this thesis, we consider the robustness and performance of a sensor system which detects a known constant signal in additive, mutually i.i.d., nominally Gaussian noise. The detector utilizes the Huber-type detector nonlinearity. Using geometric techniques, robustness measures are made for the false alarm probability of the sensor as a function of the censoring level of the detector. Performance of the detector is also recorded for different censoring levels. A normalized cost function is then used to observe different mixes of the detector's robustness and performance characteristics. The experiment is repeated for various values of n, which represents the number of samples considered.
