Abstract

SONN and MLP based detection schemes are designed for approximating the Neyman-Pearson, NP, detector for detecting fluctuating targets with unknown Doppler shift in Gaussian interference. The optimum NP detector conveys a complex integral, so sub-optimum approaches based on the Constrained Generalized Likelihood Ratio, CGLR, are proposed as reference solutions. Detectors based on a single MLP, a single SONN, and mixtures of them are studied, and their detection capabilities and computational costs evaluated. Results show that the detector based on a mixture of SONNs is able to approximate the CGLR, outperforming the other proposed solutions, with lower computational cost.
