Digital Binary Phase-shift Keyed Signal Detector

We have developed the effective algorithm for detecting digital binary phase-shift keyed signals. this algorithm requires a small number of arithmetic operations over the signal period. it can be relat ively easy implemented based on the modern programmable logic devices. it also provides high interference immunity by identifying signal presence when signal-to-noise ratio is much less that its working value in the receiving path. the introduced detector has int rinsic frequency selectivity and allows us to form the est imate of the noise level to realize the adaptive determination of decision threshold. in order to get confirmation of the detector operability and performance, we suggest the expressions for false alarm and missing probabilities. in addit ion, we have examine, both theoretically and experimentally, the influence of the detector parameters on its characterist ics.
