Abstract

In this paper, we train a neural network for the purpose of detecting a known signal corrupted by additive Gaussian as well as non-Gaussian noise of impulsive type. In the presence of Gaussian noise, we show that performance of a properly trained neural network is very similar to that of the optimum matched filter detector. In the presence of non-Gaussian noise, however, neural detectors are shown to perform better than both matched filter and locally optimum detectors.
