Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The design of a locally optimal detector for a known signal in non-Gaussian noise is discussed. The optimal detector non-linearity is approximated adaptively in the noise pdf tail region, and a polynomial is used to approximate the non-linearity near the mean. Examples for several different noise environments are presented, showing in these cases that the adaptive detector is able to achieve a high level of performance.
