Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a signal detection method and system based on inverse eigenvalues ​​of a Spearman rank correlation matrix. Background Art

[0002] In the field of communication technology, signal detection is one of the core tasks of signal processing, and its purpose is to identify the presence or absence of useful signals from complex background noise. The accuracy and reliability of signal detection are crucial for subsequent operations such as parameter estimation and coding recognition. Signal detection methods usually need to consider the statistical characteristics of noise to optimize detection performance. Ideally, background noise is usually assumed to be Gaussian distributed, and traditional energy detectors can achieve good performance. However, the noise in actual communication environments is often more complex, especially the presence of impulse noise, which poses new challenges to signal detection.

[0003] At present, energy detectors are widely used in the field of signal detection due to their excellent characteristics such as easy implementation, simple structure, and complete theory. Energy detectors determine the presence or absence of a signal by measuring the energy of the signal. When the background noise follows a Gaussian distribution, the energy detector can effectively detect useful signals with high detection accuracy and low false alarm rate. In addition, the implementation of the energy detector does not require assumptions about prior knowledge of the signal, so it has wide applicability in practical applications.

[0004] However, in real environments, noise sources often exhibit pulse characteristics, that is, they contain some outliers with short duration but large amplitude. These outliers will drown out useful signal components, causing the system signal-to-noise ratio to drop rapidly. In this case, the detection performance of traditional energy detectors will be significantly reduced or even completely ineffective due to their sensitivity to pulse noise. The presence of pulse noise makes it impossible for traditional signal detection methods to effectively distinguish between signals and noise, and thus cannot accurately identify the presence or absence of useful signals. Therefore, existing signal detection technologies have obvious deficiencies when facing pulse interference and cannot meet the high requirements for signal detection in actual communication environments.
